Most Controversial Michael Jackson Blog Update Ever!

Ok, so I couldn’t have lied more in that title.
This isn’t controversial at all, however I find it strange how much everyone seems to have an opinion of his death and the kind of person he was. The guy made fantastic music when I was a kid and since then became pretty strange. Him passing away doesn’t affect my life, nor 99% of the population so why people get so
1. sad and upset, or
2. angry and abusive of the guy and his behaviour
absolutely baffles me! Pay your respects to a legend, of course. However whether he is dead, or sitting at home designing roller-coasters for Neverland – it doesn’t matter. None of us knew him. We can still go buy his CD, just like we’ve been able to for the past 20 years. Of course it’s sad when an influential person dies and I respect that, but I do find it confusing when people are wailing on TV saying they “are going to miss him so much”. Incorrect. Only a handful of people are going to miss him. Everyone else just won’t be able to watch him live when he tours next. Go on youtube, watch one of his film clips and have a Panadol.
RIP Michael Jackson, and RIP all the other people around the world that died that day, and RIP all the people around the world who have died since that day.
Ok, so that was all a bit serious. I felt like Alan Jones for a second then: opinionated, although perhaps a little less flamboyant.
All is well in Camp Fridgy. Did the Manly Boatshed on Monday which went fantastic. Great crowd and it’s always nice to do well at that venue as many comics go there to die. Manly Boatshed – more like Manly BoatDEAD! Am I right!!! Get it!! *sigh*
Also performed at The Oatley Hotel last night. Sure there was more people in the TAB than watching the comedy, but it was still a great gig and I called two sisters ‘lesbians’. Creepy, yet somehow very attractive. 
Ok, check back soon friends!
Done.

Couldn’t agree with you more!!
(about MJ and the crazy fans… not about the attractive lesbian sisters).
