Does that money that you raise go to the monastery?
Yes, but it's not so much. Many people think that now we are going to be rich like Michael Jackson or something. That's nonsense.

Event organizers say that there is no agreed-upon definition of hip-hop dance. Instead, it is described as a fusion of street dance and cultural interpretations from around the world that can include salsa and capoeira. There are numerous hip-hop movements such as locking, popping, breaking, vogueing and punking. Michael Jackson's famous moonwalk, for example, was a kind of popping called the backslide.

A few other memorable non-fight moments came in the form of Terry Martin's choice of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" as entrance music, seeing Michael Madsen in attendance, dressed from head to toe in black leather as though he'd been dipped in a vat of Hells-Angels-Meets-High-End-Fashion, Fedor Emelianenko saying in the post-event press conference that he was going to Disneyland to check out "Space Mountain", and briefly meeting Don "Sonny Crockett" Johnson.
Love and Revolution Thrill 18 000 Fans at Lenny Kravitz’s Sofia show

Tricky and Contradictory
http://www.mg.co.za/article/2008-07-...-contradictory
Once an image is tattooed on the public consciousness, it remains in place until an equally persuasive alternative comes along to erase it. To the average Joe, Jarvis Cocker is still the bloke who waggled his bum at Michael Jackson, the Prodigy's Keith Flint is the pointy-haired firestarter and Tricky is the surly misanthrope who burned his bridges before he'd even finished crossing them: threatening journalists, scowling at audiences, warring with his record company and making albums choked with noise and paranoia.

I remember running into Rod Temperton once, who wrote Thriller and all those Michael Jackson tracks, and he knew all the words!

For Andover songwriter, hits secondary to soldiers' tribute
http://www.njherald.com/story/28SONGWRITER
ANDOVER -- Elliot Willensky has worked with some of the world's most popular singers, including Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Smokey Robinson, but the definitive work of his career didn't involve any big-name celebrities.
Willensky, of Andover, has been a professional songwriter for more than 40 years. Among his credits are Michael Jackson's first solo hit, "Got to Be There," and the ubiquitous wedding favorite "If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful," a duet by Whitney Houston and Jermaine Jackson. In addition, many of his pieces were recorded by Motown stars in the 1970s. Willensky also served as the musical coordinator of CBS' The Tony Orlando Show for a number of years.
India’s new partnership:Bollywood and hip-hop

Western musicians have come to India for inspiration and new sounds for decades, but finding an enthusiastic audience among the country's billion-plus population has not always been easy for modern musicians. Western music of a generation ago still tops India's album charts: top albums sold in India included the Eric Clapton compilation "Complete Clapton" and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" for the month that ended June 15, according to Rolling Stone's July India edition.
