Also passing away today was Sky Saxon, leader singer of the 1960's band, The Seeds.
AUSTIN, Texas — Sky Saxon, lead singer and founder of the 1960s band the "Seeds" has died after a brief illness, his publicist said. Born Richard Marsh, Saxon had recently moved to Austin. He played with his new band, Shapes Have Fangs, on Saturday and went to the hospital on Monday. Publicist Jen Marchand said he died Thursday but did not know a cause of death and could not immediately provide more information. The Seeds were best known for their singles "Pushin' Too Hard" and "Can't Seem to Make You Mine." Saxon had been planning to perform this summer with the California '66 Revue, a tour featuring a lineup of California bands from the 1960s. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/6497590.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmHTyLBIZ1g |

Like him or hate him, he was indeed a musical genius in his own right.

I ask this in a nice way--But does his kids look like him? I'm talking about the old Mike--11 year old black man.

How will history look back on someone like Michael Jackson? On one hand, you have someone who went from a child prodigy to become one of popular music's true giants. Even though the term musical genius is overused, it would be an understatement, in Jackson's case. At the height of his career, there was no bigger star and his death is on the same scale as John Lennon's. He gave millions to charity and was a son, a brother and a father.
Then, on the other hand, you have someone who morphed into a true freak, that was accused multiple times of doing terrible things to the most vulnerable among us. Children. And even worse for these victims, were the money-grubbing parents that fate had put them with. The ones who enabled Jackson. I mean who in their right mind would drop their little boy off at Neverland to spend the night? Especially after he had already paid the one kid's family $22 million to not pursue charges, in 1994. His life story exposed the dark side of life, on many fronts. It's yet another example that money doesn't make your problems go away, nor can it buy you happiness. As rich and famous as Michael Jackson was, he lived a short, twisted and mostly unhappy life. Jerry
