I Think My Son Killed Michael Jackson

Or at least he is partly responsible. The way I figure it, the world just isn't a big enough place for both this guy:

Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson

And this guy:

Mr. Harrison August Jones.

That may not seem like reason enough for Harrison to have caused Michael's death. But I also have to consider my own sordid past. For I am just as guilty for the death of this man:

That's right, the King of Rock and Roll, Mr. Elvis Presley himself.

Consider the facts:

Elvis Presley was revolutionary to the entire music industry. His music brought together multiple genres and diverse people. He was a man whose own persona became bigger than he was within his own life. He died at a young age. He is the King of Rock and Roll.

Michael Jackson was also revolutionary to the entire music industry. His music spanned many genres and united many people. He was a man whose reputation became less about his music and more about his crazy life. He also died at a young age. He is the King of Pop.

Eight days after I was born, Elvis died.

One month after Harrison was born, Michael died.

Coincidence? I think not. Apparently there is some genetic mutation that I carry and have passed on to my son that causes the death of music legends.

In 25ish years when Harrison decides to become a dad, I guess whoever has filled Michael's shoes better watch their back.
