Mike 2
As everyone will be putting up the same Michael Jackson videos from the Thriller and Bad albums to pay tribute to the man, I figured I’d put up some of his more obscure ones. Last one was “Stranger in Moscow.” This time it’s a video for “Liberian Girl,” from the Bad album. This song was only released as a single in Europe, meaning the video as far as I know never got played in America. Or if it did, it was rare.
But the real great thing about this video is that it features a Who’s Who of all the major 80s players. See how many 80s celebs you can spot and name:

Can you possibly analyze the whole mark sanford saga from the view of game. Do you have a category of current events from game view point?
This is my favourite Michael Jackson song. Can’t get enough of it.
Bangs and a Bun´s last blog ..If You Are Still Wearing Any of the Following…
Here is an ALI G interview of Spice girl and Beckham…. Interesting from a game point of view

I thought you were above this media tripe. “let the dead bury their own dead”. Who cares if theyre dead. Get on to with some substance again like “game” or sexual politics or ANYTHING…else. Dave.
Dave, nothing I ever post on this blog is insignificant, casual or accidental. Challenge yourself to see the game and dominance and human nature principles in my last two posts rather than just be dismissive of them. There is a third part coming.
By the way, I’d make a big deal of Jackson’s death even if the media didn’t make a single bit of noise about it. Whether one likes it or not, this is the most powerful death of our lifetimes, more powerful than even JFK, Elvis or Hitler. Yes, I said it. Jackson may very well have been the most famous and seductive human who ever lived.
Who in our time could of assembeled all those stars for a cameo? I bet they all did it for free.
EASY dawg…EASY. I did NOT say any of your posts were “insignificant, casual, or accidental”, you are emoting (JUST as your blog point out about arguing with a woman) over the word I DID use which was???SUBSTANCE. Mikey was nothing but a well marketed entertainer whose talent lacked the ability (as so many do) to maintain the income level his “fame” necessitated. BUT, as with ANY “emotional/feminine” argument your argument does not have to make sense (as with your second paragraph) NOR be substantiated in ANY facts. All I asked was…stay with your “usually substantial” content. It just surprised me thats all. Dave.
Relax Dave, I wasn’t angry. My point was that that no posts on this blog are insignificant or unrelated to the main premise, which is human nature, even when on the surface they seem superficial. The two videos I posted were leading to something, as you can see by today’s Part 3, which is the actual substance. I was building to it.
The second paragraph of my comment does make sense and isn’t pure emoting by the way. You made the point that I was buying into the media tripe. To me that seemed to be saying that I would not normally be writing about this if the media wasn’t making a big deal about this, causing me to buy into it. I was simply explaining that this is arguably the most well-known human being and most influential celebrity ever to live. He’s been shown by some studies to be the most well-known human on the planet. The WHOLE INTERNET slowed to a crawl minutes after he died. Ukrainians currently want a village to be named after him and a Filipino prison had all its inmates dedicate a tribute dance to him less than a day after he died:

To say he was simply a well-marketed entertainer simply isn’t true. He’s an iconic facet of American culture. Now whether one liked him or thinks he deserves such impact is a totally different issue. If you wanted to say that, I could understand it. But to say he was just a well-marketed musician is where I disagree since it’s hard to imagine American modern culture without his influence. Some social scientists years ago once tried to test the most well-known concepts around the world, from remote indigenous tribes with no media access to the biggest cities in the world. They found the three most well-known concepts, no matter how isolated and backwards the locale, were Coca-Cola, Superman and Michael Jackson. That was the point of my second paragraph of my previous comment, to say that the fervor about his death is not a creation of media focus, the media focus is a creation of the fervor over his death.
I am certainly not above agreeing to disagree with someone whose insight I appreciiate on other levels. To me black entertainment icons who changed the world in their fields and had lasting affect on the world would be 1. Poitier, (to whom ALL the great black actors we get to enjoy today owe homage) 2. Nat King Cole, vocals 3. Lena Horne, pioneer dancer. Not some kid who used hormones to keep his voice too high for too long. But…errr… lets let it go and move on to a…relaxing double Crown on the rocks.
