At his best or at his worst I’ve always admired thus man’s ethic. Hard worker, perfectionist and in love with his craft.
My 2 favourite songs, smooth criminal and dirty Diana.
Best videos for me they don’t really care about us in Brazil (that video made me wanna learn Portuguese), you rock my world.
They will brand you all sorts of crazy for being different and standing in your own truth.

A small taste of a video I’m working on.
Although the McDonalds officially started on April 15th 1955, the McDonalds story started a long time before that in Hollywood, when brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald worked as handymen at motion-picture studios. In 1937 their father opened “The Airdrome”, a food stand, on Huntington Drive (Route 66) in Monrovia, California. Hamburgers were ten cents, and all-you-can-drink orange juice was five cents. In 1940, Maurice and Richard (“Mac” and “Dick”) moved the entire building 40 miles east, to West 14th and 1398 North E Streets in San Bernardino, California. The restaurant was renamed “McDonald’s Bar-B-Q”. Here they established a streamlined system with a small menu of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries, shakes, soft drinks, and apple pie.
In 1954 Multimixer salesman Ray Kroc visited McDonalds in San Bernadino intending to sell the brothers more mulitmixers. 52 years old Kroc was fascinated by the operation. Talking to the McDonalds brothers he learnt that they were looking for a nationwide franchising agent. Kroc had an epiphany and decided there and then that his future lay in hamburgers.
Kroc opened his first restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois on April 15th with the attention grabbing golden arches, designed by architect Stanley Meston in 1953, making their debut. First day takings were $366.12.

In 1961 McDonalds opened the 'Hamburger University’ in the basement of the Elk Grove Village restaurant in Illinois. Graduates received Bachelor of Hamburgerology degrees.

In light of recent events, I wanted to talk about a black artist who, no matter what you believe about him, wrote a lot of songs about social injustice and leaving the world a better place than you found it: Micheal Jackson.
The song we’re talking about today, They Don’t Really Care About Us, is as controversial today as it was when it came out in 1995 (25 years ago, if you’re keeping count).…
I miss them.
