"The Day Pop Music Died" An Original Poem By Matthew Stovarsky

"The King Of Pop Won't Spin Again
And Grab His Crotch" the papers said
Cause although his music lives forever
It seems his lifeline is now severed
Your death left me feeling sad
Because the news was very "Bad"
It seems that in the end it doesn't matter if you're "Black Or White"
All that matters is that you have put up the fight
And although death you couldn't "Beat It"
Lifelong fans right now have grievance
And your funeral will be the finest on the Ranch
You've had a very eccentric life, but you've lived it to the fullest.
From a kid in the Jackson Five singing "ABC"
To the Wacko Jacko doofus
You've taught us how to moonwalk and of course the "Thriller" dance
You won't yourself become a zombie
But in our hearts you'll have the chance

RIP Michael Jackson

I'm still sobbing over this--I know all the controversy, but he was responsible for the hit that spawned the first parody I ever heard (Fat), his album "Thriller" was the first album I ever bought with allowance money, his music has been the target of three of my most popular recordings. . .words can't express how I feel about this--despite everything--his contribution to the music industry won't be forgotten by those of us who know him for the great moments he gave us. . .RIP

I wrote a tribute parody about him to 'American Pie', which should be up today.

Me, too.. well, not to American Pie.. well... not exactly a "tribute" either ;)

Great job, Matthias... I applaud you for taking the time to write a little tribute. :)

I hope to see a tribute to Billy Mays tomorrow that guy was fun... He made an appearance for himself, this has just been a terrible weekend for people of all entertainment aspects especially television and music...
