Tiki is a misunderstood, underappreciated subculture. No wonder I like Jacko.

I don't think I have ever been able to understand or appreciate Michael Jackson until today. I heard him when I was in grade school and was fascinated by Captain EO as much as the next kid, but never thought of him again as I grew up and had in the last few years thought as little of him as the rest of the world. But this latest surge, this latest orgy, of Michael Jackson bashing has done just the opposite for me - I am suddenly interested in his music again and have found myself listening to it all for the past few days.

And it's not just his music. The man rocks too. He's sincerely as weird as he is. He's so comfortable with himself - defying the world and maintaining that YOU ARE peter pan - this ridiculousness at middle age - this is the essence of cool.

Here here for Michael Jackson. He's perhaps the most well-adjusted human on this fucked up planet - no wonder his mere existence disturbs most people.
