looks an awful lot like Cesc Fabregas.
Well this is what I was touching on the other day. I'm really not sure how you tell the story of popular music in the 70s and 80s without mentioning Michael Jackson or playing his music.
Erasing Glitter and Savile from history's easy - they're nobodies. Michael Jackson, on the other hand...
The interesting part of this will be the reaction of radio and streaming services to this news and whether or not they will play or make available his music. And furthermore, whether people will want to listen to it.
Looking forward to this moral debate. :rubchin:
I was in Tower Records in Dublin yesterday and they were playing Billie Jean which I thought was interesting given he was so in the news and the conversation your refer to above was happening.
Then being the sharp eared muso I am sure didn't I notice that it was not MJ but a cover version.
I expect / suspect they were being ironic in the way that record shop staff can be.
I though Tower Records went nipples-up years ago. Are yours ears sharp enough to have noticed that Billie Jean is borrowed from the intro to Riders on the Storm? Which of course is borrowed from Ghost Riders in the Sky, which in turn descends from Johnny Comes Marching Home ...
On the bright side , no more Rockin' Robin shown on TOTP2 with a silly Steve Wright voiceover
Don't set me off Ash
:furious:
I can never help not laughing at that Police mugshot of Jacko
The one where he wears red lipstick where his decayed lips ought to be
The good thing...if there is a good thing from all of this is that he died just before the brave new world we live in was getting going.
Can you imagine the carnage if he started out say 10 years ago :clap:
No-one has told the Irish chaps yet, obviously.
The range of vinyl available in this won was a joy to behold
