I was too busy mourning Ed McMahon to realize that we recently lost king of pop bro Michael Jackson, or MJ, or Jacko. Dag, yo. I feel sad and moved by the passing of an icon I haven’t thought about in a long time. Though an autopsy report has yet to be filed, I think it’s safe to say that Jarvis Cocker is probably responsible:

From the encyclopedia:

Cocker invaded the stage at the 1996 BRIT Awards in a spur of the moment protest against Michael Jackson’s performance. Jackson performed surrounded by children and a rabbi, while making ‘Christ-like’ poses and performing his recent hit, “Earth Song“. Cocker and his friend Peter Mansell (a former Pulp member) performed an impromptu stage invasion in protest.

Jarvis going in for the stab @ Pitchfork Festival 2008:

Thanks for offing MJ, ass. Maybe you should look at the man in the mirror, ask him to change his ways. Maybe Deborah will take you back.

Be good to yourself… and each other,
