Today is a sad day...

He might have been a freak of late (might? who am I kidding?!) but he knew his beats. Michael Jackson has reportedly died today, at the age of 50.

I have bought several of his albums over the years, and in fact my first ever purchase of a cassette (yes, a CASSETTE) was Michael Jackson's Thriller album, with money from my 10th birthday.... almost exactly 25 years ago. Incredible.

Here's a few cover shots to take you down memory lane....


Rest in peace dude.

this is soooo weird, because I just can't bring myself to be that sad or shocked over this ... just felt the writing was on the wall for this poor guy ...

He was a great pop icon alright. His music is timeless. I'm home in a couple of days Beck - we fly out tonight. Will call or email you when in Timaru. I'm gonna freeze!
