If we were to imagine for a second that Port Sonic was a real port somewhere that all the world's sound artists came to on their vessels in search of community and each other, whose ship could possibly be larger than the King's? Obviously not Paul McCartney, MJ bought his songs out from under him! Jagger, please his solo album didn't even go gold, "Invincible" (Jackson's last release of original material) went 9X Platinum, how many acts have done that since then? Who else would come in on a California King sized yacht? Madonna? Bowie? Dylan?? Ah now we're getting somewhere, Jackson's death seems to have earned him the title of all-time greatest entertainer, possibly putting his name in a pantheon populated by the likes of Shakespeare, Muhammad Ali, Beethoven, and any other geniuses that you can think of. But I still think that Dylan is the all-time greatest songwriter. However Jackson wrote songs too and did much much more for way more people. These past couple days have been incredible for music fans around the world and for the next few days Port Sonic will be one man's homage to the most famous man in the world, Mr. Michael Jackson.
