the funk of forty thousand years

According to Rolling Stone, your poor eyes may soon witness Michael Jackson's "Thriller" as a musical. They also said that:
"Michael Jackson will be a part of the creation of the musical in some capacity."
Yeah, it's because he's really busy not doing anything right now. I really hope that the musical is audience interactive and when they start dancing the entire audience is forced to start moon walking in place and hopefully Michael Jackson, himself, will swoop in halfway through the show on a wire and whisper to us. I'm not sure why all that would happen, but I think it would be pretty fucking hilarious. Also he's got such a soothing voice.

If I'm honest, actually, I wasn't aware that he was still alive. Which is good and bad, because he's been staying out of the news. But it's also kind of like how I didn't realize that Zsa Zsa Gabor was still around, though she still has a hot name for being 91 and Hungarian. I really hope that when I'm 91, I'll have come up with a sweet ass name and mugshot like that. Bunches seems to pale in comparison. Now, I may go with Mecca-Lecca-High-Mecca-Hiney-Ho.

Anyway getting back to topic, I'm not sure how I feel about this musical because it's only a six minute song and a fourteen-minute music video, but I doubt the world needs to sit through two hours of this shit.
