I too am mystified why folks won't let Michael Jackson's catalogue age gracefully and fade naturally into the distance. Please don't try to tell me "Billie Jean" doesn't sound woefully dated. LET IT GO! Why indulge his desperate, megalomaniacal quest for long-lost relevance? Even a casual glance at the individual's freakish behavior and incomparably bizarre physical de-evolution reveals a titanic lapse of sanity, taste and humility. Obviously, Jacko isn't the only freak over- staying his shelflife via shameless self-aggrandizement (my once- beloved KISS being another sad example), but Jackson seems to dwarf all others in this syndrome.

Personally, I'm fond of the li'l anecdote Paul McCartney told about MJ buying the Beatles song catalog. Paul's "tee-hee" is priceless.
By the way, Kiss is now selling a Kiss Koffin. Hell yeah. The picture in this month's Mojo shows Gene next to a coffin filled with beer. HELL YEAH.
If they're going to blow money on a crazy Texan psychedelic mastermind, though, it really should be Mayo Thompson.

File this for Jeff Foxworthy's "You know your fan base is getting old when ..."

So to wish evil upon him is wrong!

Umm, I don't recall anyone doing that, Geoff. I remember cheering both of them for being extraordinarily bizarre. Jackson's alleged pedophilia (has it ever been proven, BTW?) is a completely seperate thing.

Obviously this plan would have sucked for him personally
That's debatable. Pretty sure Dangerous era Michael would've gladly offed himself if someone had told him what the future had in store fer him...
