Death of a Legend: Michael Jackson died today of cardiac arrest at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA. Easily the biggest musical influence in the last 30 years. Michael began his musical career young as the standout member of the Jackson 5 but the pinnacle of his fame came after he launched his solo career. Beggining with the underappreciated "Off The Wall" and his second album (that any self respecting music fan MUST OWN) "Thriller", which is the highest selling album worldwide. He then continued his domination of the 80's with "Bad" and continued this trend up until the mid 90's with "Dangerous" and "HIStory". Although for the remainder of the 90's and through all of this decade he was mostly known for his bizarre behavior and highly publicized child molestation charges (he was acquitted in 2005), he will always be known as The King of Pop. May he rest in peace.
