“Alone in the Universe” by Jon LaJoie – Watch more Funny Videos
___________________________
Catchy song with a good message and better ending (be sure to watch it all), but I still don’t care that MJ died.
MJ being dead doesn’t affect me at all and somehow I think in 20 years I will not remember where I was and what I was doing the moment I found out he died. He has some great music of course, but eh…. I can think of many others I would rather listen to and I have zero MJ on my iPod which wasn’t a conscious thought either way.
I do remember December 9, 1980 at 2:17 pm which is when I found out about John Lennon.
Yes I know Lennon died on December 8, 1980, but I was in the first grade and we lived in the country and went to a country school and there was no 24 hour news, so no one knew until we got home that afternoon that he was dead. I do however remember seeing a few of the teachers crying as we was going home, but none of us kids knew why.
In fact I called a friend and told him and I remember him telling his older sister who was a HUGE fan of The Beatles and I remember her screaming bloody murder over the phone. I remember the exact time since we had just got our first microwave a few days before and it had a blue digital clock on it that I always stared at when I was on the phone.
At the time all I knew of John Lennon was that he was a singer and he was with The Beatles, and that he was a hippe. I knew his death made everyone cry for a few days and that scared the shit out of us younger kids, but I had no idea who he really was at the time so his death has never really affected me either but as I grew older and learned more and what he did and who he was I feel a huge loss.
If you have not seen “The U.S. vs John Lennon” get it ASAP, it is just incredible.
Oh yeah, Big Love to Farrah and her Big Nipples who I will remember in 20, 30, 40 years and beyond….
