Michael Jackson says he doesn't like pop music

BERLIN (Reuters) - Self-proclaimed "king of pop" Michael Jackson, who has sold more than 210 million records in his career, made an astonishing revelation in a rare interview published in a German magazine Wednesday -- "I don't like pop music."
Jackson was explaining to Bunte magazine why he bought two classical music compact discs, but no pop, during a shopping excursion in Berlin last week while in the city to accept a German television pop artist lifetime achievement award.

He dropped into a CD store unannounced, without bodyguards, and no one at first noticed he was there.

"I'd like to go shopping again for CDs in Berlin," Jackson said, adding: "It's just unbelievable. No matter where I am I'm always being followed...I need the experience that I can walk into a store as a completely normal person going shopping."

Oh christ. This can only mean that Michael will start his own nu-garage band. NO NO NO.

NO NO NO, do you SEE? The fact that he's buying classical music can only indicate that he's going down the road of ANDREW LLOYD GNOME...er, WEBBER. I mean, he already has the tendency towards maudlin schmaltz. AIYEEEE
