RIP Michael Jackson

Absolutely stunned by the sudden death of Michael Jackson. I’d never really cared too much about his reclusiveness or his personal life. He was always a bit weird, but to me, his music always counted for more. An absolute legend and revolutionary musician who understood how to work the business and the music.
His musical legacy will always be dogged by the weird doings of the last 15 or so years of his life (as will be evidenced in every obituary, including this memoriam), but its value is as immeasurable as anyone’s since John Lennon.
As Donna Brazille said on CNN, both men were “two souls for humanity.” That is what Michael Jackson left us with. Don’t stop til you get enough, MJ, don’t stop…
