Bad

My next collection of drawings are to commorate Michael Jackson's history in music videos. (not in any particular order) There is no doubt that he has brought originality to the medium that no-one else can immitate yet use him as in inspiration.

Here we have "Bad", a song telling the listeners you dont need to use violence to be cool. If you do, you aint gunna go far!

The music video (the long version which is rarely shown on tv) is directed by Martin Scorsese and features a then unknown Wesley Snipes. We see the story of a young man returning home from college to his friends who live in the "ghetto". They think he's changed since moving away and ask him if "he's still down" they put to the test and ask him to prove himself by robbing an old man for money (MJ's face is priceless in this scene!) but he chickens out and proves himself through interpreted dance and singing...which we all know is WAY cooler!

The video again caused contraversy because of MJs dress being like "bondage gear" and his excessive crotch grabbing...hey, ya don't like it, change the goddamned channel!
