Michael Jackson and A Brief History of Time
Friday, March 13th, 2009
OMG OMG OMG. Michael Jackson is performing again! Before you get too excited, tickets for all 50 of Jackson’s shows at London’s O2 Arena have completely sold out. Major bummer.I used to love MJ. You know, prior to the baby-dangling incident, criminal allegations and calling his youngest child Blanket. Still, cranking up the volume to Billy Jean is my guilty pleasure. I can’t wait for concert-goers to start uploading footage from these London shows on You Tube. I’m anxious to see if the King of Pop has still got it – and can’t afford the nearly $14,000 price tag for tickets on ebay.
So imagine my surprise when I happened to come across Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time narrated by Michael Jackson! HA!
But seriously, just imagine that for a second. It’s Friday afternoon, you’ve got time.
Yes, likely it’s not THE Michael Jackson, though I haven’t actually listened to it, and I have heard rumors that Michael Jackson is broke…
Picture it: the first chapter could be called Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’: The Big Bang Theory– it would totally Rock My World. And if I didn’t understand it, which I likely wouldn’t, I could just Blame It On The Boogie.
Bad (*ahem* that was the last one I promise) jokes aside, narrators make pretty good coin. You have to admit, actually hearing The Gloved One read A Brief History Of Time would be incredibly awesome on so many levels. If I was rich beyond belief, or like, Sir Richard Branson decided to leave me his entire fortune tomorrow, I would totally make that happen.
