Here's a Hobartian winter sunrise (when it isn't raining), for your perusal. I think that the two columns there are masts from a couple of super maxi yachts parked down in Constitution Dock.
I have just heard that poor old Michael Jackson has died. As someone of the firm opinion that Whacko Jacko's work enables him to stand in the column marked Musical Genius (at least until it all started to go pear shaped.
I am wondering, what do people think of the guy? Pop genius? Kiddie Fiddler? Tortured child trapped in a man’s body? Punch line to a thousand jokes?

I wonder if Sir Paul can now get his music back?
Sorry to hear about MJ's death, nobody could see it coming, not the media at least. I like just one song of his (though there are plenty others which are, may be, more popular) "Beat it". For the past few years now, he was in news for more bad reasons than good ones. I guess a celebrity's life is often riddled with controversies but MJ had to face it more than anyone else of his contemporaries.
May he rests in peace.
"Oh..he's just trying to get out of that tour!" I proclaimed to Zac.
Then when it was confirmed, I was astonished at how sad I felt.
Over the years I have felt many different emotions when surveying MJ in his different guises. Disgust, dislike and dismay come readily to mind!
But his music does play a part in the soundtrack of my life...from the early years and "ABC" with his brothers and the beautiful "Ben" (the best song ever written about a rat)...right through to his newer stuff. I usually did find myself tapping my toes and tempted to moonwalk out of rooms!
The man was a damaged soul...which resulted in his wacky ways. But you cannot begrudge him that he was a great talent of his time.
I truly hope he finds some peace at last!
May he rest in peace.
God bless.
Personally, I try to be very fair when it comes to others...and this includes not judging others lest I be judge and what is that saying, about remove the 2x by 4x from your own eye before trying to remove the splinter from others eye.
I don't know?!?
I most definitely, do not believe in judging others...because I’ am not...Oh! Well,
May he RIP...as Mrsupole, say, "God Bless"
Take care!
DeeDee ;-D
As a person.......well.....hmmmm.....
I am really sad at his death; he simply invented an unique dance style and lovely music, according to me. I was hoping one day to see him perform live on stage, but alas, that day is never to come :-(.....
