Well...that poll is on DailyKos. The thing about it is that that website has a lot of "hippies" who worship John Lennon.
So....you're not going to get a very balanced poll out of a far-left website like that.
I'm just saying. I'm an Independent. I'm in the middle politically, and that site is on the FAR-left most of the time...and just going from experience.....
You're going to find a lot of people on that site who think Janis f'n Joplin and Jimi Hendrix had more impact than Michael Jackson.
Sad, but true. That's what some people think. But they're wrong.
NO ONE has had more of an impact on society and pop culture than Michael Jackson. I'm telling you, we haven't even begun to feel the impact he's had on us.
We are going to see sooo much of his reflection on pop culture. I predict that.
God bless you, Michael Jackson. We miss you, brother. I hope I can make it to heaven to see you one day.
Hey all...listen to 'One Day In Your Life'. Seriously. I listened to it the night I heard about the tragedy...and let me tell you now...there's nothing more meaningful.
I wept, yall. I don't usually cry. I haven't in a loooong time. But I did when I heard that song.
I think we all need to get it out. Just cry it out. Seriously. I felt better after getting it out. Sure, I still sniffle from time to time (even tonight). But get a big huge cry out of your system and I'm telling you....you'll feel much better and you'll be better to deal with this tragic loss.
EDIT: And yes, I voted for Michael. I'm just saying...that website is skewed. It's an uphill battle, so don't be surprised if Lennon come ahead...it's not representative of worldwide opinion. It's a political niche website catering to far-left wing Americans.
But please, please prove me wrong. I'd LOVE to see Mike ahead on that hippie poll.
