I'm waiting for the right time to make a zombie thriller joke, but I'll fight the urge.

I'm not really sure how I feel about this. I saw it on CNN that he was in the hospital and thought nothing of it and put on Dexter, then after watching Dexter I learned that he died. But I still really don't care very much. In a way it's a tragic loss, and he was a bit of a tragic figure with being a pop legend then becoming a tabloid and media sideshow with his personal life. Outside of his personal life he made some of the most memorable pop music ever, I mean everyone knows who he is and everyone enjoys some of his songs whether they'd like to admit it or not. I mean Thriller, the video alone could be the greatest ever, and Beat It could be one of the great pop songs ever. So part of me will miss what he was.
