Apparently this is what MJ would've looked like without surgery... click to see on Twitpic

What an intriguing alternative universe that must be.

(It's not for 3 weeks.) So I'm one of those DJ irritants. On the plus side, I didn't comment on his hat. The fact he wasn't wearing one had nothing to do with that decision.

But everyone wants to dance to him, that's true. And I am increasingly annoyed by the fact that everyone keeps asking me if I am wearing a fedora as a nod to him when I've worn a fedora every night since I started working as a DJ. And suddenly everyone wants hat tricks too... Smooth criminal always makes sense. You know, there’s not so much moon walking as I expected. But everyone wants to dance to him, that’s true.

Aravis, that's true, it does bring back a lot of childhood memories. Plus I was a megafan, back in the day, so it reminds me quite specifically of videos I used to watch over and over again, events with my best MJ-loving friend and so on. Nostalgia trip extraordinaire. Wow Alecya, do the customers do any MJ dancing too? Hee hee, as he might've put it. It does seem like he's having a massive career boost by dying, which is how it always goes, I guess. You'll be sick of hearing Thriller pretty soon, I bet. Demand Smooth Criminal! You know it makes sense. I watched the Oprah interview on YouTube yesterday and it was fascinating, poignant and also horrifying in places. Particularly the children's bedrooms built into the walls of the cinema (this was broadcast in 1993, before the child abuse allegations began) and the point where Michael says he's never happy with how he looks. But he did a bit of impromptu beatboxing and that was ace. I don't think I'd ever seen it before. He'll be <i>everywhere</i> for a while, won't he? I won't harp on about him too much here then.

I have to admit, though, it makes me sad. Most people ask for thriller. I think that if I asked them to name five other songs that went #1 for him they couldn't do it. *sigh* Its never until they're gone...
