Michael Jackson has gone to that big Neverland in the sky, but let us not dwell on the high weirdness that surrounded much of his adult life.

For, once upon a time, he was just a kid from Indiana with amazing pipes and four talented brothers who sang their way onto stuff like the Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour.

Here, young Mike reveals possible career paths, circa early '70s. Just think, he might have been one hell of singing legislator. Or a really weird astronaut.

A few more Soupy Michael memories after the jump.

Though MJ may be gone, his classic hit "Thriller" will live on.
