Hard rock developed into a major form of popular music in the 1970s, with notable bands such as AC/DC, the Who, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, KISS and Van Halen. During the 1980s, some hard rock bands moved away from their hard rock roots and more towards pop rock, while others began to return to a hard rock sound.

That's a tremendous amount! I'm more of a fan of AC/DC myself, although they have only sold 63 million as opposed to 100 million. I am more of a fan of their earlier stuff, where the main vocalist at the time was Bon Scott. It's very different from the rest of their stuff since then.

I had no idea his middle name was Joseph. He certainly took the pop industry by storm, Thriller is my favourite song of his. I find the music video so very unique and the style of the song is so unique in terms of its content compared to other pop songs at the time.

Health and appearance of Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer who spent over four decades in the public eye, first as a child star with The Jackson 5, and later as a solo artist, during which time he went through various image changes. Starting in the mid-1980s, it became clear that Jackson's appearance was changing dramatically. The shape of his face, particularly his nose, triggered widespread speculation of extensive cosmetic surgery. His skin tone became much lighter. Although Jackson was diagnosed with the skin disorder vitiligo, which results in white patches on the skin, and said that he had not purposely bleached his skin but had used makeup to even out his skin tone, it was widely suggested that his lighter skin tone was partly due to skin bleaching.
South African criminal law
South African criminal law is the body of national law relating to crime in South Africa. In the definition of Van der Walt "et al", a crime is "conduct which common or statute law prohibits and expressly or impliedly subjects to punishment remissible by the state alone and which the offender cannot avoid by his own act once he has been convicted." Crime involves the infliction of harm against society. The function or object of criminal law is to provide a social mechanism with which to coerce members of society to abstain from conduct that is harmful to the interests of society. In South Africa, as in most adversarial legal systems, the standard of evidence required to validate a criminal conviction is proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

That's correct, a lot of people believe it was his doctor who is responsible for his death. Even to this day, high profile figures advocate this belief. I saw Public Enemy a year or two back and Chuck D spent a considerable amount of time vocally blaming the doctor for this death between performed songs
