Speaking of music and artists. the tragic news of the death of pop legend Michael Jackson, who died of a heart attack at the young age of 50 last night is a sad loss to us all. Jackson was an immense talent in the music world, whose career spanned several decades. He was an inspiration to all, despite in later years when he became just a wee bit crazy. But his early hits will always be what people remember him by. Meanwhile, listen to the track BEAT IT by the deceased legend Jackson, below. Unfortunately, Michael could not 'beat it' at the very end. May he rest in peace.
