RIP Michael Jackson (and Farrah Fawcett)
RIP Michael Jackson. Not to belittle Farrah Fawcett, but I actually remember when Michael Jackson was on the pop landscape. Granted, it was when he was in Captain EO at Disneyland, but still. I remember it quite clearly despite the fact I was three years old when I saw the attraction for the first time. I was also convinced he was a woman.
TINY JJ: Mum, that was a woman, right?
MUM: (slightly strangled look) No, honey, Captain EO is played by a man. Michael Jackson. He is the King of Pop. (I have all his records on vinyl).
TINY JJ: (confused) But Captain EO has got to be a woman. He looks like one. And no man can sing that high.
MUM: (facepalms)
In memoriam: have a clip of Captain Eo singing “Here We Are To Change The World”.
