Michael Jackson, Dead at 50

Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted “King of Pop” who emerged from childhood superstardom to become the entertainment world’s longtime most influential singer and dancer died Thursday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. He was 50.
The person said Jackson died in a Los Angeles hospital. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.
The circumstances of his death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m., Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told the newspaper.
AP Press Release
I’m not getting into the other parts of Michael Jackson’s life here because it seems as though it would be the most miserable kind of injustice. Michael Jackson was an incredibly talented person, who at some point touched all of our lives with his music, his onstage persona, his smile. We are sorry to see him go.
Bye Michael.

I love Hardwick’s expressions in this video. And the ever sweet and hysterical Mike Phirman. Could you wrap him in bacon and eat him?
If you stop this video in certain designated spots, you can catch Phirman and Hardwick givin’ Coree’s ample bosom the -0.5 hundredth of a second- glances.
Thanks for the interview guys. You rock.

Pop- Rock Candy Mountain Reviews Marc Maron’s “Scorching the Earth”
June 22, 2009 by poprockcandy · Leave a Comment
BY Kristina Tortoriello
Pop- Rock Candy Mountain
“Complete happiness is like retardation” according to Marc Maron. Assuming he carries this belief into his personal life, Maron is something of a cracked genius. Of course, it helps to be aware of one’s own flaws.
The comic’s latest endeavor, a one man show entitled Scorching the Earth, reflects on two failed relationships from marriage to divorce, resulting in something rare: a one-sided (dare I say enjoyable?) therapy session– in which the artist takes the liberty of self-diagnosis.
Topics like addiction, religious questioning, and the role of cats in bachelordom are all laid bare for review. Scorching grips audiences poignantly between punchlines- bursts of humor, possum imitations, and all the other emotional variables that come with healing. It is clear Maron remains in the process, and that despite all efforts to bury his own sensitive side in anger, somewhere a genuine romantic lurks. (After all, he was led by love in his actions, though “[his] heart was a fucking moron”).
Regardless, to watch him relive the ups and downs is a special brand of Maron-exposure that will charm and surprise fans. Ultimately, we come to see his rejection of total happiness as the better choice- something less predictable, and are allowed to join in the thrill of “being fucked up”. See? We get some therapy too. Scorching the Earth proves an electric shock.
Marc’s new CD is available at MarcMaron.com
PS. Should you catch the show at Montreal’s Just for Laughs fest, it’s the perfect antidote to all those mindless summer blockbusters headed your way.
