Black History Month pt.4
Recap
Okay, okay, before you get on my case about it, I know this next guy has turned into a white man. Lets not forget that he was black, okay? If you haven't guessed already, I am talking about Michael Jackson. I mean, just look at this black-i-tude:
I am a pretty big 80s fan, and Michael Jackson, among others, is one of the epitomes of the decade. Sure, he released albums during the 70s and 90s as well, but it was in the 80s that he was biggest. He had Billie Jean, Beat It, and Thriller, to name a few. His Thriller album is still one of the best selling albums ever. The only thing that competes with it is The Eagles first greatest hits album. He just has so much power that he can get out of any conviction. Sure, he may be a little mentally unstable, but who isn't, eh? If you had an upbringing like he did, you would be pretty messed up too. Really though, it's all about the music, which was awesome. I like most of his songs and still "get down" when I hear him in the car (to the chagrin of anyone with me). Here's to you, Mr. Jackson. Even if you don't, your music will still live on through the ages.
