				            | I don't know which songs he wrote and didn't but I did see mention somewhere in the recent coverage that he is in the Songwriters Hall of Fame (no idea how prestigious that is). |

| I Floop the Pig | While he didn't write everything he did, he did write a fair amount.  4 of the 12 tacks on Thriller, 9 of the 11 on Bad.  He was definitely a main contributor to his own work.

| I Floop the Pig | Yeah, that's his most prominent song writing credit.  I don't love it as a song, but I get why it's respected like it is.  Much like All You Need Is Love.  Right songs for the right time.

| HI! | Is it bad for me to wish someone else would die so the talk of MJ will stop? |

| HI! | I'm glad I don't watch TV!  It was enough to hear NPR talking to Spike Lee about MJ today. |
