MICHAEL JACKSON DIES AT AGE 50. And in the same breath, Farrah Fawcett has passed on too at age 62 after battling cancer.
So on the radio this morning they have been spinning the King of Pop's songs as a tribute to his achievements and contributions to the music industry.
I am no diehard fan of his but I do enjoy some if not all of his hits. On CNN this morning, Larry King was saying that during his life, the tabloids were dishing out dirt and all things dark about him. But now that he has passed on, they are glorifying him. Well, as the saying goes- one only appreciates something/someone when it is gone.
Apart from his weirdness, his obsession with Liz Taylor and Diana Ross and wanting so much to look like them, his eccentric behavior; this man was truly a genius. Songs that are morally & socially conscious, his eternity long music video with story line and all, crotch grabbing, pagoda t-shirt tearing, moonwalking - he started it all.
And like how some are some are so obsessed like they are with The King himself, pretty soon every other person will be claiming that MJ is alive and well and was spotted somewhere. And also, there will impersonators walking around in the famed red leather jacket, sequined glove and all. Woo hoo (grabs crotch).
But he has truly lived his life, flawed and otherwise. He is an icon in the industry who has left his mark & is an inspiration to many. He will be missed for the good and the bad. May he rest in peace.
