I'm not really surprised by the posthumous sales. I picked up a copy of Thriller 25th Anniversary for Sara today. I have the album on vinyl, but I may go back and get the other remastered copy of Thriller with the demo version of "Billie Jean" and other tracks. Apparently I was lucky to get either; Best Butt was saying they keep selling out of his albums.
Thriller and Def Leppard's Pyromania were the first two albums I ever owned - received both on cassette for Christmas in 1983.
With the exception of Steve Clark, I have never been depressed or bothered by the passing of a celebrity until now. I am usually indifferent to it, and may even make a joke about it. But not now. This is actually disturbing to me.
I never cared what MJ had done to himself through surgery or off-stage antics, it was his music I loved, and he was brilliant at it. It stands up over the years, and no matter how many people called him wacko or a freak, his music stood above all of it. It's telling that in all the years since his decline, no one has ever come around who could rightly be called the King of Pop but him. No other artist has been able to fill that role. It's possible that no other artist ever will. He was that rare combination of personality, passion, determination, dedication and energy.
Farewell Michael. You'll be missed.
