[lbo-talk] Michael Jackson, he dead

[Dennis Perrin]

I've gotten a few emails, and have read a few middle-aged white guys, about 
how "overrated" MJ was, how plastic, phony, and worst of all, pop. Anyone 
who's worked in or around showbiz knows just how fucking talented this guy 
was. Few performers connect with an audience like MJ did. That's not luck --  
that's work and sheer talent.

But even if you've never been onstage, been applauded by an audience, MJ 
could still speak to you. He transcended all those categories. Only the 
greats can pull this off, and MJ was one of the greats.
