Weekly Rant

Michael Jackson was a brilliant pop song-writer and performer. That doesn't make him a saint. I can't stand how our media is so afraid to offend or draw away watchers that if Charles Manson died they would probably say that he was a very "Charming" man with a "little problem". They are so afraid to bring up all of the weirdness and strange accusations that have been thrown on him for the past 25 years or so. Sure you have people out there that think that he was just a very friendly human being that liked kids...a lot...But there's no excuse for a grown man to sleep in the same bed as a child not belonging to him. A lot of people don't know this but Michael Jackson owned the rights to all of the Beatles original recordings because he outbid Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono in their attempts to keep their own songs. So hopefully Paul, Yoko, Ringo, and the Harrison estate can get all their original recordings back because Michael has been using Beatles songs wherever he feels like. That really pissed me off. By the way, I heard a version of "Across the Universe" by the Beatles that was really neat. Its the version on the Past Masters 2 album which also has some of the better non-album stuff like "Rain", "The Inner Light", "Hey Jude", and of course others. And why the hell are we still freakin' out over the swine flu? Isn't Obama supposed to fix everything? ..............
