Or in other words: bad timing all life long.

Celebreties - alle plemplem.

Which screws me bigtime, because I'm a grandfather-aged senior who can't have a comeback because I'm still a wannabe. I enjoy playing music with my friends, and we write and play what we feel. Am I stupid for that? Honest question, because I honestly don't know.

As for Jackson, I remember the original Jackson 5 days, when Michael was just a kid. He did indeed grow into a great performer, and his dancing was pure magic. I was never really a fan either, but I'll miss those days.
