Boogie down at your own risk Michael Jackson has crossed a lot of lines in his—what's the word? colorful—career, but it appears that he's officially crossed a new one. This occurred to us not when we saw him in his jammies in court, but when we realized that playing his music in public now requires a disclaimer. On Saturday night, at a St. Patrick's Day benefit in suburban New York, the DJ had the temerity to play "Thriller." It felt kinda ... uncomfortable there for a moment, but a little less so when the DJ piped up and said, "Sure, the guy's weird, but he's made some great music." Still, we were awfully relieved when the song was over. —Posted by Catharine P. Taylor Photo credit: White/Agence France Presse/Newscom

Thriller's a good song, The album sales don't lie.
Is he guilty? I don't know. Maybe, he sure is an odd cracker.
I really do hope he is found guilty in the jury by his peers though. If only because he's already been crucified in the public square.

Re-read frankenstein and try to figure out the moral of the story.

It helps to re-read frankenstein and try to figure out the moral of the story.
