For whatever the reason, I decided to spend a half hour looking at back to back Michael Jackson videos on some entertainment channel that I normally never watch. The first one was "Thriller" and I enjoyed that song when it came out years ago, so I figured what the heck, I'll see some more of this man's offerings. After a few weird, crappy vids they then played "Billy Jean" which I also enjoyed.
What I really witnessed was the transformation of a young, handsome black man into a whited-out freak. The whiter he got and the more he hacked off his nose - the more he grabbed his crotch.
I also was exposed to my first sports Tampon commercial.
I tuned into the NASCAR race after that.
It really is a shame that everyone around Michael never tried to intervene, to stop him from stewing in the hellish juices that was the crockpot of his life.
He was a money tree and his friends and family shook him until all the fruit fell off. What was left wasn't pretty.
