John Hughes died last week.
This was mentioned in the media for maybe 20 hours, while Michael Jackson got 24 hour news coverage for almost 20 days after he died.
Michael Jackson released 2 great albums: Off The Wall, and Thriller. Which amounts to 19 songs worth listening to. The rest of his discography was pretty much crap.
John Hughes wrote and directed Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Ferris Buehler's Day Off, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Uncle Buck etc.
He also wrote Pretty In Pink, National Lampoon's Vacation, National Lampoon's European Vacation, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Home Alone etc.
John Hughes was a more prolific artist, a more important 80s icon, made a larger cultural impact, and was more important in every way.
He deserves more attention than a dancer with a missing nose.
