Yeah, people were such big fans of Jackson, but nobody listened to his music until after his death. Maybe, like 2Pac, Jackson will release several albums posthumously. Honestly, I don't begrudge those making the recent purchases, since that's how I'd prefer Jackson's fans react... by listening to his music, which they really haven't done in the last 10 years. For the record, the Jackson 5 have been included in my "History of pop music" lesson that I have taught to my 7th grade students for the last several years. I don't need to be a true fan of people to see the influence of their careers. Heck, I also include Nirvana and I'm firmly convinced Kurt Cobain is a scum-sucking bastard who is rotting in hell for all eternity. He just happened to change the face of popular music, and he should be remembered, though not deified, for his achievements. > Let me put it this way, when the very sad day comes that Stevie Wonder > dies, I won't have to go to itunes to buy any of his music to listen > to - because I already have it, and listen to it all the time. I only recently (within the last year or so) discovered the funk-era Stevie Wonder. For those who, like I once did, only think of the bland "I Just Called To Say I Love You" years, check out the "Songs in the Key of Life" album from '76. -- Kevin M.
