Micheal Jackson

I am sick of hearing about MJ. Sorry for you MJ fans, but enough is enough. Same as when Elvis died...I don't want to hear about it for a month. Yeah he was a good performer in his day, but I can't honestly say he did anything in the last 10 years that I could even put my finger on. One guy they interviewed was saying he was the best performer in history. Another said things would never be the same. Am disagreeing with the best performer...there is no best performer. Each age has them. In the 1980's his videos and music were ground breaking..but the industry has changed now. Heck MTV doesnt show very many videos anymore...they ought to change the name to RTV...they show more reality shows than anything else. Any who wants to watch washed up music stars try to find love anyway. Todays music industry WOULD NOT allow someone like MJ to ever get where he was...to much corporate control and cookie cutter logic. Things won't be the same. So many folks who are on the radio just don't have talent. And don't forget...I am a musician so you without talent...you don't fool me. You have a gimmic. Kids now adays don't know music. What is passed to them in a lot of cases has no soul...ten years from now most of the big groups will be nothing....songs will be forgotten. But at least in the past it was music with melody...todays stuff is so beatbox. I am just not looking forward to most of what will come out of my radio.
Sorry MJ...you were good in your day..but RIP and lets move on with life.
In case your intersted...I listen to more folk and Christian music nowadays, along with old stuff. I don't think my radio has moved off of talk radio in months.
