king of pop?

[fictional]

While I was napping, Michael Jackson died?

WTF?

Could the world stop changing just when I've closed my eyes, thanks! More to say later, after I've washed my face and am convinced I didn't port dimensions in my sleep.

I grew up in the 70s also.
Today two of its biggest icons died and I'm feeling more than a little bereft. I first fell in love with Michael Jackson when I was 9 and he was 11, that makes me a fan of 40 years.
I'm allowing myself to be a complete woobie today.

I'd not describe myself as a fan of either per se, but they were the warp and weft of my childhood. it feels deeply bizarre.

yes, that's the phrase: "the warp and weft of my childhood." That's it exactly.

*g* Thanks.

...I kinda like it too.

Although is it a mixed metaphor? (No, maybe that would only be if the phrase itself was mixed. But what's the audio equivalent of a woven thing? Inquiring minds want to know.)
