Open Thread: Michael Jackson Edition

There’s a story out that is not getting much attention. It seems that the Saudi ruling family may be bankrupt. This may spread to about $60B+ loaned throughout the Middle east to various family companies.

I think we will hear more about this in the near future.

Although I believe that the global financial system has been largely stabilized, these things come out of nowhere.

I always believed in th back of my mind that the What’s predictions could come true but not from the financial part of the economy any more. His predictions could come true because of some purely egogenous event like Iran attacking Israel or N. Korea lobbing a nuclear warhead somewhere. These things are NOT discounted by the market.

musically speaking it’s the same with MANY of our iconic music legends.
has Stevie Wonder done anything relevant since the 80’s
how about Bob Dylan
Aretha Franklin
The Stones?

Oy vey, If winelover or propjoe says anything anti-semitic (or anyone else in that matter), I am going all WHAT and Tango Uniform on them! I am waiting for one of those “hasidic jew land owners” remarks and then guys, just sit back and enjoy my rants :o).

and then video killed the radio star

THL, I must admit I am in love with Led Z and I like the Stones. Nothing gets my toe tapping like Fool In The Rain…I’ve been playing it every morning for a while now cause I do feel like a fool in the rain!
