Michael Jackson, 50, R.I.P.

I’ll let others proclaim the significance of Michael Jackson’s contributions to music and entertainment as the legendary “King of Pop.” I considered him weird. It was best described by Johnny Carson in an opening monologue of The Tonight Show years ago when the hometown Dodgers led the league in fielding errors.

“What does the Dodger infield and Michael Jackson have in common?” Carson asked. “They all wear gloves on their left hand for no apparent reason.”
