More like because he's the greatest musician of all time, but yeah.
Yeah. Greater than Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen, Frank Sinatra, Bob Marley, ect. ect. Sure, dude, sure. You're just saying it because he's dead. You wouldn't have that sig if he wasn't dead. You wouldn't have those songs in your sig if he wasn't dead. You wouldn't be bringing him up in everyday conversation if he wasn't dead. You wouldn't be bringing him up in a discussion of "greatest artists of all time" if he wasn't dead. He wouldn't even cross your mind.
Of course I fully expect you to fire back with "I have always been a huge fan of Michael Jackson, I own all of his albums and listen to him everyday because he is a legend". Because of course we can't expect you to actually ya know, be realistic about it.
