The last celebrity "king" who died was Elvis. After his death, a new industry was spawned, the Elvis impersonator. Now another celebrity "king" is dead. How many decades will we have to endure Michael Jackson impersonators? Which Jackson will they impersonate? The natural Michael from "Off The Wall"? The early plastic surgery Michael of "Thriller"? Or the freak of science Michael he ended up becoming? Elvis impersonators have young Elvis, Vegas Elvis, and fat Elvis.

They're going to do all three Michael Jacksons. Wow, that's going to be a sight. Imagine going Vegas and seeing MJ impersonators! I wonder if they'll be the biggest request at weddings? I have to go lay very still in a very quiet room and find my happy place, otherwise my head is going to explode.

I'd say there were lots of other rock kings besides Elvis. Elvis is not the only one.

The thing is though White people in Las Vegas are only going to be able to impersonate the freak of science version of Michael Jackson because that version of Michael had pale skin.

White people can not impersonate "Thriller" or "Off The Wall" Michael Jackson because that version of Michael was too dark unless ofcourse a White person goes blackface like Robert Downey Jr. did in "Tropic Thunder".

If the public is smart they will vote for Michael Jackson when he was Black and had an Afro. That is when he looked the least like a freak of nature.

I know I definitely never want to see this hideous face on a stamp.
