“Um, sorry, but singers ARE musicians. What a silly argument.
Like it or not, Lady Gaga is a musician and so is Sinatra and so is 50 Cent.
And Beethoven. And MJ.”

“Well, since you mention conspiracies may I remind everyone that in previous eras it was not at all unusual for boys to be castrated in order to retain their high-pitched voices.
This was not considered a form of "abuse" as it would be today, but a means for those with the most beautiful voices to retain them as long as possible. Five-hundred years ago and more, not unlike women in some cultures today, women were not permitted to perform in public. Whether on stage in a Shakespearean play or in musical theater, young boys and "castrati" performed the roles of women.
If such was the case with Mr. Jackson it would certainly explain why he was unable to father his own children. You might watch the fairly recent film, "Farinelli" for a depiction of the life of a famous castrati, who, while able to perform sexually, was not fertile.”

"According to the US census bureau, the dominance of non-Hispanic white people, who today account for two-thirds of Americans, will be whittled away, falling steadily to less than half in 2042 and 46% by 2050. In the opposite trajectory, those who describe themselves as Hispanic, black, Asian and Native American will increase in proportion from about a third now to 54% by 2050."
Soon these old ra.cist will die out, and the rest will become fans of the NFL or NBA.”
