Song / RIP Seriously. I don't care. (And don't piss me off Tour!)

Posted by Terry Miller on Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 4:25 PM

It's not that I don't enjoy MJ's tunes, but as the man spun himself into dizzying spirals of utter lunacy over the past 25 years I completely lost interest.

While listening to the news last night I just kept rolling my eyes. "He was such an incredible, giving man." "Touched the lives of millions." "..." "Yadda yadda yadda."

Then Touré dropped this bombshell on an MSNBC special with Ann Curry: "Off The Wall was the greatest disco album ever made!"

I was like, Oh. No. You. Didn't. You will not try to pass off something good as something monumental, just because the poor fucker died!

Excuse me, but have you ever heard of Cerrone's Supernature? Or Donna Summer's Bad Girls? Or Giorgio Moroder's From Here To Eternity?

Shut the fuck up Touré.

At that I turned off the TV and went back to searching for cool new tunes to practice on my Ukulele.

This one is good, don't you think?

You're an idiot. Off The Wall is unbeatable. Toure has been a successful music journalist for years while you're stuck writing on a fucking blog. A shitty one at that. Don't worry, I'm sure that when you pass, people will say, "He was SUCH a great writer", just because your poor fucking ass died.

I'd say that song's okay on the ukulele as long as you already know "after hours" by the velvet underground by heart and you practice chord changes with "pictures of lily" by the who every once in a while.

Yes, I think that's a lovely tune.

I thought that the Soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever" was the greatest disco album ever. What gives??????

Michael Jackson was a boy-loving freak. I can't believe all the people who are suddenly gushing tears over his death. They didn't care a whit about him when he was alive. At least I'm being honest in how I feel.
