You Better Run, You Better Do What You Can
Don’t Wanna See No Blood, Don’t Be A Macho Man
You Wanna Be Tough, Better Do What You Can
So Beat It, But You Wanna Be Bad
Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
No One Wants To Be Defeated
Showin’ How Funky Strong Is Your Fight
It Doesn’t Matter Who’s Wrong Or Right
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It

Smooth Criminal was aweseome. I would always try and do that lean move that he did. I would always end up falling over but it was fun anyway.

They are saying now that it was an injection of Demerol and that the Dr that gave it to him is MIA.

The drama continues….

Both morphine and demerol can bring about cardiac arrest. MJ evidently used a lot of demerol. He had a lot of pain from injuries to his back and legs.

I think all of the Beatles haters should be banned.

The Beatles were one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music, selling over one billion records internationally.[1] In the United Kingdom, The Beatles released more than 40 different singles, albums, and EPs that reached number one, earning more number one albums (15) than any other group in UK chart history. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, The Beatles have sold more albums in the United States than any other band.[2] In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked The Beatles number one in its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[3] According to that same magazine, The Beatles’ innovative music and cultural impact helped define the 1960s, and their influence on pop culture is still evident today. In 2008, Billboard magazine released a list of top-selling Hot 100 artists to celebrate the chart’s fiftieth anniversary; The Beatles topped it.

I prefer the music of The Stones and U2 and many other groups but hating the Beatles is just crazy talk.
