"the funk of 40,000 years"



thought i'd spend a minute or two and recall some childhood memories. like everyone else on the planet, i'm shocked at michael jackson's death. being a big fan of music and an in the closet musician, i was a fan in the musical sense. i have a few albums which i'll listen to in a blue moon but it's nothing to the fandom that i feel for my favorite bands like aerosmith and evanescense. to be the fan of his music that i am, i have to force myself to look past all of the bullshit and focus on his music. one of my favorite songs is, after all, 'smooth criminal'.

anyway, i do have a memory of michael jackson, sort of, that's stuck with me. when i was around six my sister's (they were in high school at the time) had a thriller viewmaster. i checked it out one day under one of my sister's supervision (yeah right) and it scared the living shit out of me.
