Sorry it took me a bit to reply: 1. Yes, Michael Jackson was a musician. He was a ridiculously talented songwriter and singer. Some of his biggest hit started as beats and hooks inside his head. He would beatbox them on a rough track... and then the instrumentation would be developed to mimic his vocal beatbox track. Some of the final, released recordings actually keep his original rough voice track in the master. He also was responsible for the arrangement in many of his songs. So, yes, I think he was a musician. I respect your differing opinion, but I can't imagine what other amazing artists you would say aren't musicians simply because they don't perform with an instrument in hand. 2. True, Christian Audigier did not own Von Dutch... though he was the primary force behind the brand's growth and is credited with its success. Are you an Audigier fan? Did you/do you support his brands? Are you reading this blog right now while wearing a bedazzled Ed Hardy t-shirt and a patched Von Dutch trucker hat tilted to the side? Thanks for commenting Mitch.

Micheal Jackson was a musician? what did he play? Entertainer let's leave it there. 2. Von Dutch was/is not Audiger's brand, he simply worked for them. 1.
