Good stuff. I found the bit about how he was a "huge fan" of NIN's downward spiral interesting, since a few lines above it said he refused to curse. Someone who's against cursing doesn't seem like they could like a NIN record. He must have just really liked the engineering of the album. I'll hand it to the team that made it, downward spiral is one of the coolest sounding records I've ever heard.
Check out the relatively obscure MJ song Morphine from Blood on the Dance Floor, which is decidedly influenced by Reznor. Morphine is one of those eerie songs where Michael practically predicts his own downfall. It's incredibly sad.
