Rock on, Joss Whedon. Takeaway line: "Why aren't you asking a hundred other guys why they DON'T write strong women characters?"

I really enjoyed Maira Kalman's pictoral story of visiting Monticello.Read the whole thing! A brief portrait of one of the greats.

Anybody want to recommend a biography?

Like many others, tonight I'm remembering just how great his music is, what a singular performer he was.

Doin' a little Blame it on the Boogie dance in memoriam, just like all those days on the leach field. Thinking hard on this: There are two things to say about him. He was a musical genius; and he was an abused child.

UPDATE: Another good post on MJ, from Jill at Feministe.. and another one from my friend Brendon. They both say way more than I could.
