Why "Bad" is my favourite Michael Jackson video

(NB: If you are reading through dashboard you have to click through to the post to see the videos, but they are really good videos! So it is worth it! Unless you have already seen “Bad” and “Cool” from West Side Story.)

Okay, watch this:

Now watch this:


It’s so great, because it’s not just homage, it’s taking the best ideas and then making them new. (Hah, apparently this is public knowledge.)

I went to art school, I studied pop culture, I know everything about music and iconography, pop, cultural and religious, I’m self-manufactured…. (I look) at it not as poison or lowbrow, but looking at it in a very highbrow way, and self-making myself to be a powerful visionary and say something that will genuinely speak to people.

cha mon:

britticisms:

  1. A vibrant exclamation of the term “come on” or “c’mon” and often shouted in Michael Jackson videos while the singer grabbed his crotch with one hand and extended the other arm out.
  2. One of the main things I’ll remember about Michael.

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides

- Adele, “Hometown Glory”

(It turns out I really like Adele?)
