I take it back - partly

Thu Jul 9, 2009, 9:08 PM
I was force-fed some Michael Jackson pieces the other day and discovered, to my great surprise, that he actually was quite a good singer, a fact usually obscured by all the electric pop machines he surrounded himself with and not often evident to anyone not already a fan of his. And at least one piece he recorded was competently arranged, with considerable variety and complexity, though I don't know whether he had anything much to do with that. But it definitely qualifies as real music. So I take that back.

I don't know about the twerp part. Maybe so, maybe not. But it doesn't matter now. Nor does the fact that a lot of people think he was a good dancer and made hot videos, as far as music is concerned, because music videos are a separate art form from music and can't fairly be compared.

But the biggest tragedy of the last couple of weeks is still the so-far successful suppression of opposition in Iran and not the passing of a strange but popular entertainer.

hey i thouight this iQ quiz was cool. i just took mine!! CLICK HERE
Did you send this, or did they get into your friends list? Looks like a mini-scam to me.

1) Which animal is least like the others? (rat, snake, lion, elephant) surely has no single good answer. Here are two: all but the snake are mammals, and all but the elephant eat meat.

2) She will be twice her brother's age in 8 years, i.e., when she's 24 and he's 12.

3) 12 is the square root of 144

4) 5 four-legged animals and 1 two-legged animal have 22 legs altogether.

5) 6:30 brings the hands almost together, i.e. zero degrees.

And I didn't have to subscribe to the $10/month service to know that.

But anyway, glad to hear from you. Hope things are going well.
