He also made more money off of his "Thriller" points than anyone could ever
need, and only have had to put up with a scant fraction the "fame"
bullshit.
Lighten up, already.

I've definitely noticed that my bass cabinets feel as light as a feather
when I'm bringing them back into the house at 3:00 AM. But putting them in
the car before the gig is brutal.

Drums are the foundation of the rhythm section. Everyone ideally shoulf be
following his lead.
Great drummer and crappy bassist - drummer has to work harder to make the
time happen.
Great drummer + great bassist - time is "easy" or so I've heard it described
by drummers; they work a lot less.
Agree....But what would the advice be then, back from a drummer to a

C'mon now, well all know who was responsible for what by now.
Quincy Jones created Pop for the King,
And Michael Jackson had sex with young boys.

Theoretically, heating the magnet can result in the reduction or loss of

Went to see it last night in a pretty good theatre. I know Michael
Jackson (may have, reportedly, etc. etc.) did bad things.
What a shame they didn't get to put on that show, as it looked to be
something really special.
Jackson: Dancing and singing, IMHO, better than ever. Yeah, the movie
runs a little "long" but I don't know what I'd want to leave out.
