Ladies and Gentlemen, MJ has left the building.

[anagramofbrat]

I mostly missed the memorial - I had a work deadline, and since those seem to be the only things that will light the necessary fire under my ass to get shit done, I pretty much had to hang onto the concentration train for dear life.

I heard a lot of it, as Dad was watching it on MonsterVision downstairs and there's only so much South Park will drown out. I'll probably see various clips of it discussed to death for the foreseeable future. I did catch his daughter's speech and was saddened by it... amid the circus and what have you, this little girl loved her daddy very much, and now she's lost him. When you boil it down to that... yeah. Ouch.

Really, I'm hoping this all will go away soon, and only a small percentage for the usual nihilistic cynical reasons. It's mostly because this man didn't have a moment's peace in 40 years, maybe even longer. It would be nice if he had some, now that he's gone.


So just leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone - stop it
Just stop dogging me around


With such confusion don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme
You find your pleasure scandalizin every lie
Oh Father, please have mercy cause I just can't take it
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop fuckin' with me
Make me wanna scream



For once, people, listen to the man and let him rest in peace.
