'...livin' crazy that's the only way...'

- 'Off the Wall' from, Off the Wall, which I think I have rediscovered as the greatest summer driving tune of all time!

Wacko Jacko is no more... RIP fella.

The man may or may not have had a dark side, but he undoubtably had a weird side.

You can't blame him I guess. Sorry, you can, you can empathise to a degree with the factors that contributed, such as the ultimate 'pushy parent', the total lack of privacy, the demand to be his friend from every crazy in the street to the crazies known as 'Heads ofState' etc, but the choices were his.

Even his end has a tinge of bizarre to it, from the disappearing Dr to the final 911 call... how calm is the caller when The King of Pop lies dying within feet of him!

I will happily admit that he had more talent in his little finger at the age of FIVE than I do today in my whole body!

As a tribute, I think that I will learn to moonwalk like him.

Seeing as I can only find 4 cd cases and 3 cd's of his, I may use this little video blog in the background to play some of his tunes.

In case I get too carried away with the wave of emotion I may visit this site to remind me of his facial history!

To see some bizarre mixed with nerd you may want to check this out...

Lastly, I found this absolute gem of a site which has mug shots of famous celebrities (including Jacko) when they get arrested, brilliant!

Thanks for the memories Wacko...
