Was he actually acquitted? I thought he slid past the charges (bought the people off or something)? Not really up on the subject so.

I used to be too until I realised that dance music had gone down the pan ... that's why I like metal now. But I still like all my old soul, funk & jazz funk and that includes albums like "Thriller".

Mind you the funniest thing I ever heard about him was on Clive James' New Year show where James, cynically observing Jackson's current skin colour and the title of one of Jackson's singles that year ("It don't matter if you're black or white") commented that it sure seemed to matter to him (Jackson) ... I was on the floor it was that funny.

TBH, I'd taken you for some kind of rock man, probably old school metal but it appears I was wrong.

In an earlier court case he paid a settlement, claiming he didn't want a massive court case in the public eye. In the court case that was brought forward at a later date, he was tried and acquitted of all charges after it was found that the witnesses were untrustworthy and had a history of extortion. He was acquitted by a jury too.

I always liked Smooth Criminal best. And I loved the film Moonwalker when I was a little kid.

Rock My World was ok for newer stuff of his...

Now...he's..a..bit...weird to say the least.

Well, weirdER at least.

I always think of the South Park episode 'The Jeffersons' now LOL.

Does anyone else know, from QI, that Bill Bailey invented moonwalking?

Thriller is certainly a brilliant album
