In all the hoopla surrounding Michael Jackson's death, the pop singer's identification with Peter Pan was mentioned ad nauseam. But as Pop Matters points out, Jackson's affinity for Edgar Allan Poe was almost completely overlooked. Apparently, Jackson was so obsessed with Poe that he planned to star, as Poe, in a film, and had spoken to Steven Spielberg about it.

Michael Jackson as Edgar Allan Poe?

I guess he was a raven lunatic.
