Happy Birthday Michael Jackson

August29

Gonna watch Moonwalker on Blu-ray to celebrate.

Remembering Michael Jackson

June25


Somebody shakes when the wind blows
Somebody’s missing a friend, hold on
Somebody’s lacking a hero
And they have not a clue
When it’s all gonna end

Stories buried and untold
Someone is hiding the truth, hold on
When will this mystery unfold
And will the sun ever shine
In the blind man’s eyes when he cries?

[Chorus:]
You can change the world (I can’t do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody’s help)
You’re the chosen one (I’m gonna need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight

People laugh when they’re feelin sad
Someone is taking a life, hold on
Respect to believe in your dreams
Tell me where were you
when your children cried last night?

Faces fill with madness
Miracles unheard of, hold on
Faith is found in the winds
All we have to do
Is reach for the truth

[Chorus]

And when that flag blows
There’ll be no more wars
And when all calls
I will answer all your prayers

[Chorus x3]

Change the world

Favorite Captain EO memories

February23

Captain EO, starring Michael Jackson and Angelica Huston, returns to Disneyland February 23, 2010

Captain EO, the 3D short starring Michael Jackson as an intergalactic hero sent to deliver the gift of song to the evil Supreme Leader (played by Angelica Huston), officially re-opens at Disney today! This also means I need to start making plans to get out of Colorado and into a Disney theme park so I can see it again after about 20 years of only being able to relive it through grainy clips on YouTube. Besides, who wouldn’t want to see something that combines Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, vintage 3D, and Michael Jackson?!

Michael Jackson, Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas formed the team that brought Captain EO to audiences in the late 1980s

Disney posted this video of fans describing their favorite Captain EO memories. I think my favorites have got to be Michael’s awesome space suit, the little fuzzy alien flying out into the crowd in 3D, and the Supreme Leader’s wicked fingernails.

“Happy Birthday Lisa” by the REAL Michael Jackson

September28

Do you remember the time (couldn’t resist!) when Michael Jackson did a voice on The Simpsons? Remember how everyone was excited to hear him sing “Happy Birthday Lisa” on the show, but he wasn’t allowed to because of contract restrictions so they had a sound-alike do it? Well now, thanks to YouTube, we have a version of the song by the REAL Michael Jackson. Check it out!
