Legends Do Not Pass Quietly

Michael Jackson's death has made its mark on popular culture in ways that echo the significance he and his music had. His iconic album, Thriller, is again number one, this time in sales on Amazon. And the demand for information about him and his rumored passing was so intense that even the mighty Google servers could not handle the surge of search requests.

Michael Jackson will always stand as a cautionary tale on the pressures of fame and fortune, but his talent was undeniable, and "Thriller" holds up, 26 years later, as a terrific album.
