2012 brings new things to discover as well as uncertainty about the future. It also brings more of that 2012 doomsday BS that has been running rampant the past few years, despite common sense and scientists actually proving that the predicted Mayan doomsday will not happen! But that still doesn't stop idiots like Discovery Channel, History Channel, Patrick Geryl and other morons from continuing to shove their doomsday shows and books down our throats!
Since the world will end in 356 days from now (we are in a leap year, so we have the 29th of February), I've decided to have my own fun with this "phenomenon". Don't worry, I'm not going to talk about how the earth will suddenly reverse its magnetic fields or anything like that. I lack the intelligence to make sense of that stuff.
The reason for this title if I'm not going to talk about 2012? A certain 80's song that critics think is probably the worst song in history.

Well, it's starting to sink in for me now. I only learned of Michael Jackson's death when I was watching the start of BBC World News America, so I quickly tuned onto Fox News and learned all about it.
His death hits me in a big way. I grew up in the 1980's and he was THE top performer in that era. I grew up listening to Thriller, Beat it, Billie Jean, Bad and so many others. His music RULED ALL!! I was also aware of his legal troubles the crept up in the 1990s, plus his ever growing eccentric behavior. By then I was moving onto other bands and musicians, but I always enjoyed listening to Micheal's stuff no and then. When I got my Xbox and Xbox 360, I made sure to put in a few good Michael Jackson songs in the hard drives so I can listen to Beat It while racing in Forza 2.
On a related note, I'm also saddened by the passing of both Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett. I always watched Ed McMahon when he appeared on the annual Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day telethons and I do recall seeing Farrah on Charlie's Angels as well. Both were great talents and I was equally shocked to hear that they both passed away, along with Michael.
I always said 2009 was a terrible year. The entire world now mourns the loss of the King of Pop. I feel like playing some Billie Jean now. :(

Yes he was the best in the 1980s, but when the mid 90's came around that all the trouble came about him. But I didn't let that get to me. I didn't listen to that. It didn't effect me listening to his music. Which during that was was pretty awesome as well. But I agree in the 80s that was his decade. I heard about Ed by watching Star Search and The Johnny Carson Show. Farrah through Charlie's Angels.
I am listening to his album "Dangerous" now. Great music right there. I might listen to History next. I want to hear Thriller, Bad, Billie Jean, and Beat It.
I swear 2009 has turned to the worst year. And I truly believe it is the worst year. I admit it.Posted June 26th, 2009 at 2:54 PM by Lucy Lu
