Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009), known as the "King of Pop", was an American musician and one of the most commercially successful and influential entertainers of all time. His unique contributions to music and dance, along with a highly publicized personal life, made him a prominent figure in popular culture for four decades.
Alongside his brothers, he made his debut in 1964 as lead singer and youngest member of The Jackson 5, and began a successful solo career in 1971. His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time, with Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995) among the best selling. He is widely credited with having transformed the music video from a promotional tool into an art form, with videos for his songs "Billie Jean", "Beat It" and "Thriller" making him the first African American artist to amass a strong crossover following on MTV.
While preparing for the This Is It concert tour in 2009, Jackson died at the age of 50 after suffering from cardiac arrest. He reportedly had been administered drugs such as propofol and lorazepam, and his death was ruled a homicide by the Los Angeles County coroner. His death triggered an outpouring of grief from around the world with his globally live broadcast memorial service attracting an audience of up to one billion people.

Get the michael jacksonmug. Brutal mass murderer. Disturbed as a child, he was chosen to be inflicted with the Curse of Thorn, which focused his rage on his family and made him invincible. He has murdered scores of people, but is catatonic between Halloweens in which the Thorn constellation is present.
Michael Myers as a character was blemished by having his ass kicked by Busta Rhymes in Halloween: Resurrection.

Get the Michael Myersmug. Real name is Michael Shawn Hickenbottom, is more commonly known by his in-ring name: Shawn Michaels, and is always called Shawn. One of the most talented today in the business of sports-entertainment. Very charasmatic, can still get a reaction from the crowd, and can still work a great match. Was involved in the 1997 Survivor Series screwjob of Bret Hart. At first he denied any knowledge of the "Montreal Screwjob" but, he later admitted that he and Triple H (Paul Levesque) knew all about it, and were in on it as well. That was over 10 years ago people. I think it's time to let it go. Devoted husband and father, a recovered drug addict, and a born again Christian. Did a non-nude spread for Playgirl magazine, and didn't find out until after it was published that Playgirl is a homosexual orientated magazine. This was/is found humerous to his fellow wrestlers.

Get the Shawn Michaelsmug. 
The bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, also known as Flea. Is most famous for his Popping-and-Slapping bass technique, which can be heard very clearly in the intro to the song "Higher Ground," which the Chili Peppers covered. Stevie Wonder did the original version.

Get the Michael Balzarymug. Without a doubt the most kick ass horror movie figure. The scariest and most imtimidating, the most awesome horror character to ever be created. He wears a emotionless white mask and wears a boiler suit. He can be seen in the Halloween movies, 8 of them in total with a 9th of the way. Cursed with thorn, meaning he becomes invincable and is forced to kill his whole family. Wouldn't want to be cursed with that!

Get the Michael Myersmug. My hero. Michael Franti is the creater of Michael Franti and Spearhead, a group that blends reggae, rap, rock, folk, funk, and jazz into a spastic beauty. The music is highly politically charged. After hearing one song you want to go blow up an institution. Here is a section of the lyrics to Oh My God, a great song:
(chorus)
Oh my, oh my God
out here mama they got us livin’ suicide
singin’ oh my, oh my God
out here mama they got us livin’ genocide
Slam bam I come unseen
but like gasoline you tell I’m in the tank
like money in the bank
I smell appealing, but I’m toxic, can send you reeling
without an inklin’, keep ya thinkin’
‘cause you gave cash to the feds, left your school district for dead
fucked you up in the head, but still they sayin’ nothin’s wrong
still believing the systems workin’
while half of my people are still out of workin’
anonymous notesleft in the pockets and coats
of judges and juries from ‘Frisco and Jersey
threats and protests politicians mob debts
trumped up charges and phony arrests
stage a lethal injection, the night before the election
‘cause he got donations from the prison guard’s union
(chorus)
Listen to my stethoscope on a rope
internal lullabies, human cries
thumps and silence, the language and violence
algorithmic, cataclysmic, seismic, biorhythmic
you can make a life longer, but you can’t save it
you can make a clone and then you try to enslave it?
stealin’ DNA samples from the unborn
and then you comin’ after us
‘cause we sampled a James Brown horn?
scientists who’s God is progress
a four-headed sheep is their latest project
the CIA runin’ like that Jones from Indiana
but they still won’t talk about that Jones in Guyana
this ain’t no cartoon, no one slips on bananas
do you really think that that car killed Diana
hell I shot Ronald Regan, I shot JFK
I slept with Marilyn she sung me “Happy Birthday”
singin’
(chorus)
Well politicians got lipstick on the collar
the whole media started to holler
but I don’t give a fuck who they screwin’ in private
I wanna know who they screwin’ in public
robbin’, cheatin’, stealin’
white collar criminal
McDonald eatin, you deserve a beatin’
send you home a weepin’, with a fat bill for your Caribbean weekend
for just about anything they can bust us
false advertising sayin’ “Halls of Justice”
you tellin’ the youth don’t be so violent
then you drop bombs on every single continent
mandatory minimum sentencin’
‘cause he got caught with a pocket full of medicine
do that again another ten up in the pen
I feel so mad I wanna bomb an institution
singin’
(chorus)
He also starred in a documentary titled I Know I'm Not Alone, something that everyone should view.
