Tuesday Tunes: Week 90

From Music Memoirs

This week we will remember Michael Jackson:

Tell us two "good" things you will remember the King Of Pop for.

Sometimes its hard to not say things about Michael Jackson's weirdness, but there was a lot more to him than that, probably more than any of us knew, so here are the two things I'll remember him for.

1. Being the kinda guy that had enough of a sense of humor to let Weird Al parody two of his hit songs, Beat It and Bad.

2. The music; particularly Thriller which was huge when I was in grade school. That was the album that everyone had to have. I even had a copy and I was never really a huge fan, but you can't take away the greatness of songs like Billie Jean, You Wanna Be Startin' Something and Beat It. His music shaped a decade and then some, and perhaps it was the music that ultimately brought about his demise.

RIP Michael Jackson, probably the person that needed peace more than anyone else in the world
