Taggart, You are right. I am upping Charo's talent number on my imaginary scale to a full 82! Best, Dave www.davekonig.com www.facebook.com/davekonig1

Great article but…I gotta defend Charo, just a bit. This, from Wikipedia: "As a result of her training and skill she has been named "Best Flamenco Guitarist" in Guitar Player Magazine's readers' poll twice."

I'm not going to apologize for my opinion on the death of Michael Jackson: I think he was a freak.

A talented freak, but a freak nonetheless.

He's dead.

Let's move on.

People die every day. I mourn the ones I knew and loved. Famous celebrities who die mean nothing to me. Sorry.

Second thought, it does mean something to me when I can't even turn on FOX News without all the incessant Jackson hype. That irritates me.

He wasn't irrelevant at all. He was a massive talent who changed his industry, and took a horrible wrong turn. There's always tragedy when a a human life goes wrong, and while the people may be in sneer mode now, a lot of us are still quite saddened by his death. He was a cultural touchstone for a lot of people's youth. Not dismissing the molestation accusations; that's part of the tragedy, it'll rightly taint his memory forever. But I'm not the only one who'll be playing his music this weekend. The art will outlive the artist, as it usually does.
