Michael Jackson was one of my fondest memories growing up. I used to pretend we were related, we share last names, and even though there were bad tabloids, I never felt that he did that. I knew about the eccentricities and all but I didn't care. I loved how his music could make me smile on my worst days. I wanted to make a song with him ever since I could sing... I just wish he would've meant more to the world in the time before he died.<br />I agree with you, though, about kids my age not knowing because they are more mainstream and I cringe whenever I hear the latest Nicki Minaj or Lady GaGa song and would much rather listen to late 80's, 90's, early 00's and up. I listen to music I can relate to.Angelkakezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286926388662332857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-79011324181786243232012-02-03T14:34:22.106-08:002012-02-03T14:34:22.106-08:00This entire series is an exercise in how not to wr...This entire series is an exercise in how not to write characters.

Plenty of MJ fans of all ages are in complete denial about that aspect of his life. Choir kids might even see him as a martyr. I would suspect that the people in charge of the rights to MJ's music not liking to be reminded that he was a pedophile had more to do with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-40916499306579332062012-02-02T19:03:55.391-08:002012-02-02T19:03:55.391-08:00I willingly suspend my disbelief.

And Rachel (Lee Michelle) does say in the beginning that she doesn't get him so there was that. <br /><br />And why wouldn't teens know who Michael Jackson is? Hell, there are 7 year olds that know who Michael Jackson is. Why wouldn't a teen? <br /><br />I think that the music interluding with everyone was really forced but they are probably pushing iTunes sales like you mentioned. <br /><br />But come on?

Because I found Glee to be just a crapfest with teens being autotuned to death. I'd rather watch shows like Royal Pains and Psych myself. And of course Burn Notice - but only because it has Bruce Campbell.<br /><br />As for the Beatles, my vocal coach loves to tell this story. One of his band students came up to him one day and seriously asked, "Mr H, did you know Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?"<br /><br />And I felt very old the day a I mentioned the movie Labyrinth to my niece's best friend who's 15 and the girl told me she had no idea who David Bowie is.JamiSingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756726189949304645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-40494496234393859142012-02-02T08:10:05.481-08:002012-02-02T08:10:05.481-08:00I stopped watching Glee when they stopped having r...I stopped watching Glee when they stopped having real story lines in lieu of "theme" episodes.
