The 24-hour news networks have stopped going Michael-Jackson-crazy. Even the entertainment news shows will let an occasional Farrah Fawcett story slip through the solid wall of MJ. Now that the hype storm is passing, it’s time to remember the reason why people started paying attention to Jackson in the first place. It wasn’t The Gloved One’s controversial personal life that initially ensnared us. It was his music.On Thursday, July 30, a gaggle of bands take turns paying tribute to the King of Pop at the Launchpad. Ya Ya Boom is bad and you know it. Zoltan Orkestar can’t stop ’til it gets enough. Old Main wants to be starting something and 66 Guns blames all its problems on the boogie.Jackson may have liked to hang out with kiddos, but only folks 21-and-over can get into the $5 show. It starts at 8:30 p.m.
