      "The moonwalk is THE MOST 'hallowed' dance in pop music."

      And that has to be one of the most irritating things about Jackson's excessive celebrity. Mime artists had performed that type of move for ages. Various dancers incorporated it into their routines. Then Mr. Thriller tried it out, and it was treated like a freakin' revelation:

      Even Michael Jackson himself had used similar footwork previously. It was a simple extension of some of his other moves. Check out this 1977 video at around the 0:35 and 2:00 marks:

      By the way, I despise Disco, but can't help but be impressed with his dancing in that number.
