>The man could sing. One of my favorite biographies is Peter Guralnick's first volume about Elvis, the rise to fame. He and his band drove all night from gig to gig throughout the south, the bass guitar strapped to the hood. He never shut up, keeping them all awake. He was a young man on fire. So sad that fame turned him into a recluse.
Exactly the point. Elvis was dead by 1962. MJ by 1986.
I saw Vladimir Horowitz perform when he was 74 and Stephane Grapelli when he must have been 80. Dave Brubeck played here in Cleveland last month.
MJ - not impressed.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
