“Do we really want to know how Michael Jackson makes his music? No. We want to understand why he needs the bones of the Elephant Man -- and, until he tells us, it doesn't make too much difference whether or not he really is ''bad.'' (FZ)
How many of the world mainstream media outlets lead with the story of Frank Zappa’s death in 1993?
None, that’s how many!
Today’s unwarranted adulation of Michael Jackson exposes the injustice of a ‘true musical-genius versus marketing pantomime come phenomenon’.
We see this, in both the public and media circles.
Fuck throw-away POP-ULAR fucking Music!
It’s SHIT!
Let me spell it out for those of you, who may be hard of hearing……S…..H…..I…..T.
Ya, got it?
When The Spices Girls sell more than Radiohead, it’s apparent to anyone above puberty and doesn’t have a poster of their favourite band on their bedroom wall, that record sales are never indicative of talent.

When a so-called musician/singer (whatever you term him) is remembered for 'turning music videos into an art-form' and his dance-routine - we need to take a big step back & ask ourselves 'what about the music'?".
All this unjustified adulation of MJ, merely goes to prove Frank Zappa’s immortal quote:
“Most people wouldn't know music, if it came-up and bit-them on the ass”.
Sure it was sad to see Jackson drop-dead prematurely, but musically he was never on the same scale as immortals like Zappa and Lennon.
David Bowie is another, who towers above Michael Jackson.
I’ll leave you with some more Zappa quotes which seem to be purpose-built for this article.
“I don't give a fuck if they remember me at all”.
“Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe”.
“Rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, in order to provide articles for people who can't read”.
“I have an important message to deliver to all the cute people all over the world. If you're out there and you're cute, maybe you're beautiful. I just want to tell you somethin' — there's more of us UGLY MOTHERFUCKERS than you are, hey-y, so watch out”.
“If you wind up with a boring, miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest or some guy on TV telling you how to do your shit, then YOU DESERVE”
“There is no hell. There is only France ”
