Dean's World

Wow, it never occurred to me before just how much Michael Jackson looks like a Hassidic woman. Well, except for the tie and pants, that is. He does still wear pants, right?

If it weren't for the pedophilia accusations, I would take Mr. Jackson over Carrot Top in a heartbeat. Once upon a time, he really made good music, some of which I quite enjoyed. Today, even if I believe the absolute worst of the allegations, I can't help feeling sorry for him. He's mentally ill, and a lot of people helped push him that way or did nothing to help him when they could've. I think he should be in treatment, very possibly in a prison ward; but because of wealth and fame, his "eccentricities" are indulged, to the benefit of no one, not even himself.

Carrot Top, meanwhile, has never so much as made me grin. I cannot believe people find him remotely funny. Still, more power to him for finding a paying audience whose tastes are far different from mine. Just please get out of my way if I happen to get stuck in one of his shows.
