Hmm. MC Lars with nostalgia for one of the great icons of flat mass culture?
I think you're reaching when you claim that his success was necessary for the success of hip-hop. That's like saying that the Beatles or Elvis were necessary for Nirvana -- sure, it would have been a different world without the influence of these seminal artists -- Nirvana's work wouldn't have been viewed as a *response*, at least. But it's not like they wouldn't have made an impression on their own.
hell yeah Lars!!! you were awesome when i met you back when you were touring with BFS, and this proves that you are still awesome! you rock Lars! great podcast! Thank You for sharing this with us!
My fondest memory of him was watching some movie of him where he helped out two kids, turned into some giant robot, and blew everyone's mind's away. I have no clue what it's called, but it was definitely awesome back in the day. RIP Michael. You will be remembered as the legend you were, not for the bad, but for the impact you have made on all of our lives this past 50 years and on the music world.
Nice piece Lars, I remember the release of theThriller album and my buddy who bought the red/zipper jacket. I respect his contribution to pop culture eventhough I wasn't the biggest fan of his music. This week with Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, and now Micheal Jackson. Bad week to be famous.

However, I will admit that he did great things for funny music. Weird Al definitely got jumpstarted because of MJ.

Great tribute. My first CD was Even Worse, and I'm pretty sure my second and third were Bad and Dangerous. =) Love your work Lars.

Seriously though, you said 1984 and I thought the year because that was a pretty significant time in MJ's career.
