When you lose your creative ambition, get a little long in the tooth, and need some money, what do you do?
Me? I shell out beejays in rest stop parking lots for $10 a head, and I make clever puns when I tell people about my gig.
But former pop icons? They go to Vegas!
Next up on the superstar-to-the-strip train could be none other than the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. Of course, Jacko wouldn’t be content to just show up in Vegas and do his thang—no, the world’s most popular freak would never settle for something so pedestrian! In true Thriller style, Jackson is mulling over the idea of placing a 50-foot robotic replica of himself in Sin City.
It would be in the desert sands,” said Mike Luckman of Luckman Van Pier, consultants to large entertainment companies. “Laser beams would shoot out of it so it would be the first thing people flying would see. Neon is wonderful, but it’s old school.”
Yeah, neon is old school. But Jacko? He’s never been so relevant!
