But really, I don’t care that he sang your favorite song in the early 80s.

The only thing that he has been in the news for over the past 20 years is as the brunt of Wacko Jacko jokes and “allegedly” molesting young boys, and that has been conveniently and immediately forgotten.  The sheep followers of the media have shed their tears (loudly, I might add),  and suddenly lionized a man that a few weeks ago would have mocked for his lifestyle choices and aesthetics.

The Matrix Revolutions divx Yeah, I know, he was a international superstar whose music impacted the lives of countless people.  How, exactly, he could directly impact you, I’m not entirely sure, since he was as far removed from reality as you could possibly be.  Yes, he did a great thing with that We Are the World fundraiser (over twenty years ago, in 1985), and put up larger than life statues of himself all over Europe to promote an album.  Yeah, we’ve all been drunk a a party at some point and did the Thriller dance.  Woo.

Even worse than his sudden widely accepted innocence – and don’t argue with me over “innocent until proven guilty” bullshit, you don’t settle for millions out of court if you are innocent – was that his elaborate memorial service was paid for out of California tax payers pockets.  $4 million out of our pockets, according to the LA Weekly See No Evil movie full

.  Why so much?  Oh, for over a thousand cops, street closures, workers to clean up the mess, and then some. And even better, the mayor of Los Angeles has the gall to ask for donations for the event from the public.  City and state employees are getting paid in IOU slips and getting laid off, and my cigarettes are up to $7+ a pack because of the state’s debt, but MJ OD’s, and everyone forgets all about that.

I am so incredibly elated to have my tax dollars going towards a pedophile’s public funeral service I could fucking burst.  Yes, yes, I know, an “alleged” pedophile that sang your very favorite song when you were 8.

And if you don’t agree with me, you’re obviously on the Other Team.

I’ve been hearing murmured buzz about this for a few months now, and finally took the time to Google it last night.

Needless to say, I am appalled. I am horrified. I am also not terribly surprised.

The first time I saw Rocky Horror, I was about six. My Uncle Sal let me watch it (because he’s awesome), and I thought men dressing up like women and jumping into other men’s beds was the coolest thing EVER. I promptly learned how to do The Time Warp, showed my first grade teacher, and the phone calls home about “Samantha’s odd behavior” began. I watched it every day after school all through elementary, dressed up as Magenta for every Halloween throughout Junior High, and by the time I was 14 was attending the midnight showings in the East Village. I wanted to grow up to play Lips.

“I have no view on whether it should be remade, but it doesn’t have my blessing”, says Richard O’Brien, better known to us Transilvanians as Riff Raff, whom also wrote the original book, music, and lyrics.

Thankfully, there isn’t any recent news on the subject, but help voice your opinion against the remake by signing the petition at Stop the Remake

This is a repost of an article I wrote for Haute Macabre, but everyone should be aware of it.
