So Michael Jackson died today, along with Farrah Fawcett. A little weird, I suppose, but major celebrities just seem to die young so often. Michael Jackson was pretty fucked up at some points I guess, but it certainly doesn't stop him from being some sort of pop legend. He does have some truly great songs. MTV was doing a tribute to him by playing all of his music videos. We watched Thriller all the way through. I think it's a comforting thought to realize that we still remember people the way we should - for all of their good points rather than their bad. People will still talk about the skin color change and the nose jobs and the nose melting off his face, and the weird stories from his Neverland Ranch, but what will truly hang on are his songs. Music is great that way. It keeps on keeping on, forever. It changes through time, but yet it's still a constant. I don't get people who rarely ever listen to music. It's like a necessity in my life. If I don't have any music, I'm lost.
