Eccentric genius
Everybody knows Michael Jackson. But all the same, here's some crucial details, out of our journalistic duty: the sixth anniversary of the artist's death (still shrouded in mystery) falls on this Thursday; he died at the age of 51; as a child he performed with The Jackson's Five, then released several solo records, the four of which at least ("Off The Wall", "Thriller", "Bad" i "Dangerous") are now real milestones in the history of pop music; he promoted a vast number of fantastic hits, had legal trouble (accused of child sexual abuse) and was both quite eccentric (to say the least) and mentally unstable. However, he was also a genius. This is just a synopsis. It's as if we didn't know about this.
