I don't think many people actually wanted to be Jacko's friend, but as a kid I was convinced that if we met we'd get on really well and hang out with Bubbles. He was a pretty attractive character.

But I get what you're saying. And I suppose the further you get from traditional song forms the less my argument works. I never wanted to be friends with Daft Punk.

Well, the biggest selling album of all time was Michael Jackson's 'Thriller', does that mean all the people who bought it wanted to be his friend?

I dont know.....I think it is more about sounding like a fun person, than a 'friend'.

Thanks, Rhiannon. Great to meet you at Unconvention Swansea. It was a fun weekend all round, and your set was cool. I've rapped Ice Ice Baby from behind a piano before (many times...), but your pianist's version of the Crazy In Love rap was a great foil to your vocal. Very entertaining. ;)

I’ve been enjoying your site immensely. I couldn’t agree more with this article, you write excellent discourse without ranting. A skill I wish I had!
