Where is his "Hey Jude" moment? There is none. Don't argue "Thriller" or "Bad" because "Hey Jude" lasts for generations. MJ's songs only stay with one generation.
He didn't write. He sang and danced.
I compare him with Sammy Davis Jr. who I have more regard for a show man who showed humility.
This was bound to happen and I'm ready to take the arrows. Ben


Yes his life was a CIRCUS so is it any wonder that his death is a CIRCUS? Of course not. But Ben you couldn't be anymore off on your observations of his music. Michael did WRITE songs! And his talent is so obvious it's not even a debate. He was The REAL deal. He wrote BETTER songs than Elvis. And One generation? Michael Jackson? Are you kidding?lol.

You don't have to sit with a guitar or at a paino to write songs people!
You can walk in the room snap your fingers and start singing GREAT melodies! Then just about ANYONE with half a musical sense puts chords & beats behind it. Michael wrote great melodies and rythyms which is a big part of what great songs are all about.

Besides NO one was,is or will ever be better at popular music than the Beatles. They are Beethoven of there century period!

Don't let all this media get you bummed smile bro. Try to avoid it if possible....I know I know. smile



Thanks!
Peace Mike
