Quincy Jones blames God for Thriller

Quincy Jones tells Interview magazine that God, not him, was responsible for Michael Jackson's Thriller, saying you write the script and God rewrites it.

Quincy Jones says that the reason Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' was so good was because God made it, not him. He told Interview magazine, "People kill me when they say, 'How do you sit down and plan to do an album like Thriller?' Give me a break. You have to let go and let God deal with things. As I get older, I realise, about music or whatever, how little we have to do with anything. You write the script and then God comes and rewrites it".

Yeah, right. See, I told you we were sceptical.
