This creepy Michael Jackson painting turned up in a Meatpacking gallery window:
And more weirdness: A piece of Jackson's Neverland Ranch now resides at Coney. [Gothamist]
More gang-banging off Tompkins Square Park. [NMNL]
michael jackson as Jesus. That is as disgusting as jamie foxx calling jackson the "greatest entertainer of all time." The gloved freak had a few good albums, one, Thriller, is the best seller of all time. But hey, those same consumers also bought Eagles records. No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." HL Mencken
ReplyDeleteWell, Thriller is really a lot Quincy Jones. is it not?
ReplyDeleteI cringe at his hiccup singing effect which I guess came after Thriller.
Greatest entertainer of all time? Ha!
I kind of like the painting. I don't see it as MJ jesus but rather holding his black doomed child self.
No?
Larry's got a point. Quincy for sure! Especially Off The Wall.
ReplyDeleteracism? Hate fest? Geesh. I'm just tired of the over-the-top coverage. It's nothing to do with race until JackS brought it up.
ReplyDeleteWhen Off the Wall was released I was playing drums in a mostly black band in NC working up the material. Wanna see my fro? Man, some folks looking for the race bait under every tree. And he ain't the greatest entertainer of all time, what like Marvin Gaye, Elvis, Beatles, MIles Davis and Coltrane didn't exist?
Yeah that painting is creepy
