As many people probably already know by now, Michael Jackson died this afternoon. The cause of death appears to have been cardiac arrest. He was fifty years old. Needless to say, such a colossal figure in the world of music deserves a substantial tribute, personal problems or not. Sometime this weekend, after my Best Of The 1970s list has been wrapped up, I’ll sit down and write a full tribute to this great pop icon. In the meantime, I urge everyone, no matter what your personal feelings towards Jackson or his music are, to take a moment and remember what a tremendous effect Michael Jackson had on the world of music.
