...really? Okay. The man was influential to pop music, no doubt about it. However, there are other people who have been just as, if not more so, influential to music. If Michael Jackson gets his own holiday, I propose one for Elvis, Johnny Cash, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger, Jimmy Hendrix, every single Beatle, Ella Fitzgerald, Sam Cooke, BB King, Kurt Cobain, Pavement, every Ramone, the members of ABBA, Britney Spears, and well, the list continues. Think of anyone who has made a contribution to music and influenced entire genres, and then give them their own holiday. Because if MJ deserves one, so do they. Furthermore, most (MOST) of these people have far less controversy in their personal lives. And finally, we have some major issues facing America right now. Maybe we should be concentrating on them, not someone who was, let's face it, an alleged child molester, and frankly, a has-been, albeit one who was influential during his hay day.
I'm previewing the Country Music Tribute to Bruce Springsteen right now...eesh.
Oh, and family, meet your future son/brother-in-law.
This is Ed Westwick. He's on Gossip Girl, and we're going to get married. Seriously though. He lives in New York. And I hear there's not many people there and I hear that actors on one of the most popular TV shows these days usually like dorky, overweight graduate students living in studio apartments in Brooklyn, so this plan is flawless. But a girl can dream.
