I respect everyone’s right to their own opinions, I’ve said my piece on the whacko, so I thought I’d contribute some taste instead.

A "hare's breath" ?

Arjay, you really do have a poetic side.

Thriller was the biggest selling album "of all time", by a long way. It sold well over 100 million copies.

No other musician, singer, band, orchestra or instrumentalist, regardless of genre, has put out an album that got even close to that achievement.

In those days MJ was the biggest and most popular recording star and live performer in the world - - - no one else got even close.

Unfortunately MJ now provides a vehicle for bitter old men like max here (who probably can't even play one note decently) to spout his ridiculous, judgmental, puerile garbage. It's the tall poppy syndrome - - - where failed, obscure Aussies just love to criticise powerful or successful people. I bet it made you feel really important eh max - - - congratulations.

Master, what a sad sad person you are, and barely worth a response.
Because I have different tastes in music to the mindless masses you abuse me?
Fine upstanding gent YOU are then. Haven’t you even noticed what this site is called?
Online OPINION?
Look it up, it doesn’t mean agreeing with YOU!
The only feeling this thread has given me is disgust at YOUR attitude.
I see no reason to justify myself or my achievements to you, so I won’t.
I’ll just ask this: How many International Awards have YOU won in your field of endeavor?
Because I have.
And as a matter of interest, music doesn’t play a large part in my life, perhaps that enables me to take a more objective view of it, and to be less susceptible to the hype, unlike you.
“Quick, quick, the herd’s moving this way, musn’t stand out, baaaa, baaaa”!
And what happens to sheep? They get shorn, and eaten, says it all, really.
You have my pity.

Arjay, that’s supposed to be spelt- “Hairs breadth”, meaning the thickness of a hair between them. It’s all too easy to mistake one for the other, as in this case

Sock-puppets are for ridiculing, Max, not engaging with. This one won't be around long, have fun with it.

BTW, do you know Primus?

I quite appreciated that too, CJ.

>>A "hare's breath" ? Arjay, you really do have a poetic side.<<

I also rather liked:

>>Dylan Thomas was another tragic genius who wrote Under Milkwood.<<

It hadn't occurred to me before that Under Milk Wood had been multiply authored, and that Jacko might be among their number.

It's never dull around here, is it?
