My favorite Jacko joke, courtesy, I believe, of Norm Macdonald:
What’s the difference between a supermarket shopping bag and Michael Jackson?
One’s white and made of plastic and the other one is a child molester.
Had to get that out of the way. I have to say though, Jackson was pretty much my first musical hero. Now bear with me here … when I was like 6, my father traveled a lot and whenever he’d come back he’d bring presents; mine were always Jackson 5 records. I was a little Motown loving 1st grader. That early ABC, I’ll Be There, I Want You Back, Never Can Say Goodbye, period was top-notch.
Then I turned ten and discovered KISS.
