Cycle Jackie Chan...

It's a thriller coz he is dangerous for me and I beat it when he's around, bad guy that he is else there'll be blood on the dance floor which is unfotunately not dirty Diana's. Who is it that spilled the blood then? Heal the world even though all I wanna say is that they don't really care about us.Things are now just black and white...

* Although his name rhymes with the title, I've somehow found an uncanny association between Michael Jackson and Bruce Lee. His death just reaffirms it!
* He might be most famous for his music and gyrations but what really impressed me is his patent on Antigravity shoes! Seems so reverently Kramer-ish!
* Some trivia - his autobiography was apparently code named "Neil Armstrong", for obvious moonwalking reasons.
* Some references close home - (a) there was a music store near my house (in Madras) that was called "Moon Walk" that had a really catchy and interesting decor... They unfortunately closed it down a few years ago but their "Man on the Moon" work, visible at all times over the front shutter (there has to be a name for this!,) is still vividly memorable. (b) Surya's gyrations to the song "Yethi Yethi..." from the film "Vaaranam Aayiram", a tribute to MJ from Gautham Menon (c) Reality tv show on Prabhu Deva, who used to famously rip of MJ, and was his initial claim to fame before he stopped imitating and started displaying his actual genius in performances/choreography... I saw an episode of this because I underwent exactly ONE dance lesson (in Lambada) from one of the contestants!
* The first songs I heard by MJ and my favorites as a kid (under 10-er) were "Heal the World" and "All I Wanna Say is That", more for the lyrics than the music. Obviously.
* I, initially, heard more of MJ only because of Macaulay Culkin, who I think was a reincarnation of Winnie-the-Pooh for his "cuteness factor" alone, and the frequent mentions of "Neverland".
* Personally, I don't think someone with all the quirks mentioned above and who thought of himself as "Peter Pan" can molest anyone!
