The Depth of Taste

We got a number of flyers late yesterday in the inbox advertising MIchael Jackson tribute parties at various clubs. Grub Street has a nice opinion piece on the issue this morning. A musical tribute at a club like 1Oak doesn't seem to be any different from a normal night and people are going to go there anyway. Hell, most nights at 1Oak and clubs of the sort are unadvertised MJ tributes, but we draw the line at the City Winery promo. A Michael Jackson Tribute Wine Pairing?  From Grub Street:

"And City Winery honcho Michael Dorf was torn: “Is it wrong to create a memorial to MJ with wine and charge $? People want to hear his music and be together. I am not giving it away for 0.” Well, the Dorfman figured it out, because according to an e-flyer we just received, tonight there will indeed be a Michael Jackson Tribute Pairing that may or may not feature Jesus juice."

The answer is yes.  It is wrong.  And lame.  Unless the same crowd that shows up for the Sunday Klezmer Brunches shows up.  Then it could get interesting.

Hi i am John, I will use carbamide peroxide my own experience is that it is the number one choice than teeth whiting. Because of this most people can use carbamide peroxide so that’s why it is very popular.

U people are retarded. MJ was no more talented than any other performer and probably if anything less talented. He did not revolutionize break dancing....what he did was a commercialized version of what other people were actually doing. His songs were not all written by him, his dancing was limited to a couple of moves, and he was the one who named himself and marketed it to you idiots as the "king of pop"...he was a commercial success and super famous....thats what set him apart...his fame! thats all....he was a marketing genius. he was talented as a kid and then marketed himself crazy. thats it. hes no Beatle, The Who, Elvis...people with real abilities...hes ot better than anyone else. shut your tv's off and make your own decisions.
