["He had a YouTube account, featuring his innovative music videos, but the embedding on those videos has been disabled," says Salon.com's Liz Shannon Miller.] Jackson's videos were among the first to "go viral" on the Web. Here is a reminder of why they did, with thanks to Miller for her post and shared selection, below:
