(until, at least, i woke you up to that reality. now you will probably go to google for names of black performers) |

I may be wrong, but country is white peoples soul music. I do know that it has havng Black roots, more of the blue gras roots maybe, the folk music that the Scots and Irish brought over, as both of those are given to ballads and the range from upper to downer music. I just cannot get into country, as it is a matter of taste! Certainly Ray Charles crossed over into diff. styles (Georgia) as do most great musicians....

Bueno Musica! The accordian is an interesting touch. Cabarete has a Jazz Festival every year on the beach - big event! They mis in the accordian in a similar way, and they make jazz with a Latin influence - really cool. The event draws thousands and the performances are really lively. (except for the band from Cuba - I think Castro told them how to play) William Visit: www.caribbeanrealty.ca www.casablancacabarete.com |

Rightly so. When the pedophile is a millionaire rock star (with tons of evidence including 20 million dollar payoffs to families to keep quiet) everyone ignores what this pervert has done to ruin the lives of lchildren who trusted him and cheers him on. Van Morrison made and makes real music. MJ was a "pop" star with teeny bobby music of no lasting value. In that sense he was very much like Elvis, who at least stuck with grown women and not boys. "Good news for Michael Jackson, not guilty on ten counts! The bad news -- he's going to Disneyland!" --Jay Leno "Legal experts say the key was that the defense really didn’t play the race card. Well, duh. They didn’t know which race to play." --Jay Leno "It's like they always say, if you're rich and white, you can get away with anything." --Jimmy Kimmel, on the Michael Jackson verdict "It's kind of ironic when you think about it. The only Jackson you can accuse of committing a lewd act is Janet at the Super Bowl. The one we wanted to see." --Jay Leno "The next big question is, Will Michael Jackson be Robert Blake's new golf partner or Scott Peterson's new girlfriend? --Jay Leno "Johnny Cochran died and had a funeral. You know who was at the funeral -- both O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson. In fact, Michael cornered O.J. and said, 'How do you get stains off a glove?'" --Bill Maher "Michael Jackson was caught on tape saying he was a virgin until he was the age of 32. I mean, is that really shocking? I mean, he was a black man guy 'til he was 35." --Jay Leno "As you know, Michael Jackson late again to court twice this week…have you seen him? Two people helping him walk into the building; he's constantly late; he's crying a lot; he's walking stiffly…I think he's going through menopause." --Jay Leno "Michael brought his personal magician into court with him. Good to see this thing doesn't turn into a circus. I guess the magician's job at Neverland was to make the young boy's pants disappear." --Jay Leno "According to the news, Michael Jackson is broke and can't even afford the payroll at Neverland Ranch. So the next time you see Michael with his hands in a 12-year-old's pocket, he might just be looking for lunch money." --Jay Leno Michael Jackson, late for court again today, you know, because of his bad back. Well, you'd have a bad back too if every conversation you had in your life involved having to bend over and ask, "What's your name?" --Jay Leno "A lot of people thought Michael Jackson was faking it yesterday but people who know Michael say he does have back problems that flare up from time to time. Like when he's on trial for child molestation." --Jay Leno "Michael Jackson claims that his partners would sleep in the bed, while he slept on the floor. You know, it's the same arrangement the Clintons had." --Jay Leno "The judge in the Michael Jackson child molestation trial selected 250 candidates for the jury pool, while Jackson himself has selected 20 for the kiddie pool." --Amy Poehler, Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" "According to a Gallup poll, 17% of those asked still have a favorable opinion of Michael Jackson. That may not sound like much, but it's still more than any of the Democratic candidates running for president." —Jay Leno "Michael Jackson now using the internet to communicate with his fans. Which makes sense, that’s how he met most of 'em." —Jay Leno "After turning himself in yesterday, Michael Jackson was placed in handcuffs. I think he helped his case when he asked 'These are neat, do they come in smaller sizes?" —Jay Leno "Michael Jackson announced this week that the Neverland Ranch is no longer home to him. He said he can’t go back there. Which of course is really bad news for the kids locked in the crawlspace." —Jay Leno "Now he is out on bail — again he still doesn't get it. When a reporter asked him what he is going to do now, he said, 'I'm going to Disneyland.'" —Jay Leno "Early today Michael met with his priest — not for spiritual advice, they went on a double date." —Jay Leno "Now that Barack Obama has been elected president, producers in Hollywood say they think America is now ready for a black James Bond and a black Wonder Woman. Isn't that cool? Yeah, hell, America may even be ready for a black Michael Jackson." --Conan O'Brien "The effects of the Barack Obama election win are still reverberating throughout the country. A lot of pride in the African-American community. Have you noticed that? And listen to the latest rumor. You hear about this? ... Michael Jackson now considering going back to being a black guy." --Jay Leno "I looks like the Democratic field really starting to get narrowed down. For Democrats, it's going to be Barack Obama versus Hillary. So, it's a black man or a white woman. You know, this is the same decision Michael Jackson has to make every morning of his life." --Jay Leno "See all those people on the news walking around wearing those surgical masks, huh? For the swine flu. Suddenly Michael Jackson is not so crazy, huh? Yeah! I think we owe Michael an apology." --Jay Leno "Tomorrow - this is a little fun fact for you - both John McCain and Michael Jackson will celebrate their birthday. Yeah, so it will be the birthday of an old white guy and John McCain." --Conan O'Brien Your opinion is yours... but it must of taken you a while to copy & paste for this tired smear campaign. It's just like one person said "if my child was molested I'd shoot him, not sue him." Please- it's sad, let it go now, he's dead. Edited on 6/26/2009 6:34 PM by talia. Dios le bendiga! |

Music is all about taste, and no doubt the guy had talent, but his music/lyrics are liteweight, which explains the appeal and why it is called "pop" and not "soul" or R & B. Compare MJ lyirics to that of Moody Blues, or Pink Floyd and such and Yu will know what I mean. taste: how many people like music from India, or China, or Italian Opera, or North American Indian music (if it can even be called music, that repetative noise) ....some do but the appeal is limited. The legendry John Mayer loved Indian music as I do. The influence was heavy in his Indo-Jazz Fusions for example. http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/mayer_john_jazz_/bio.jhtml German singspeil is better than Italian opera although both enjoyable. Besides the cocktails at the Munich Opera are very superior! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlbPTDHtK-c Unfortunately the World is polluted with evil empire trash spread by the media moguls from Amerika! http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/sep2006/db20060911_957615.htm S. John Mayer is a legend in your mind a footnote in everyone elses ...then again your mind is very very small Your mind is completely closed - I share with you: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6n8ql_sitar-music-live-performance-clip-o_music Who wants to know about trashy Amerikan pop stars!
