Subject: Rod Temperton (Thriller songwriter) dies

How's this for a thriller? The man who, along with Quincy Jones and Vincent Price, helped Michael "thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try" has died. "Thriller" and "Rock with You" songwriter Rod Temperton was 66 and died of cancer.

Thriller is still one of, if not the best-selling album of all time.

I had no idea about this. So sad to see another songwriter (of at least one notable work) go. :\'(

Would be neat if they had somebody rap this tribute at his burial service...


Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'awl's neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

Rod Temperton was the keyboard player for Heatwave: Boogie nights, a great track. RIP Rod.

Man, it feels like a curse for anybody who was associated with any 80s musician or actor/actress. I know you can't control people's health, but it seems excessive for all of those celebrities to die with sorrow. No wonder why people don't like this year so much.
