Michael Jackson: Rehearsal Footage
Dan's Media Digest —
CNN have released exclusive footage of Michael Jackson rehearsing for his London comeback gigs, two days before his untimely death. Contrary to reports, he seems physically fit and in decent shape to me. Is he just jacked-up on drugs to get him through it, or was he on the verge of pulling off a great concert? I would have loved to see him prove his doubters wrong, but he'll sadly never get the chance to now. Apparently, there are plans to release all the rehearsal footage on DVD, which I'd certainly be tempted to buy. If only to see his planned "Thriller" sequence with animatronic zombie puppets.

Personal driveling... I'm sorry I left you for so long. Meatworld obligations, fatigue, and personal whatever. While I wasn't posting I was still bookmarking links for Collected Thoughts. "Collected Thoughts" posts are supposed to be five or so bites, not a massive list of everything I've thought about the last two weeks. You'll survive, though. I've not meant to be this in absentia from local music in LA. My ideal, right now, would be two nights a week. I plan to get back to it soon. I have had Burrito King three nights in a row. This is a horrible ...
