Michael Jackson gone too soon
I may not be the biggest fan of his, but i was a fan.
Upon hearing the news from my friends, i tuned in to CNN..and i just cried. non-stop. I grew up with his music..i danced and sang to it. Being a music fan, this is definitely a tragic loss to the industry. He was supposed to go on tour and actually have 50 sold out concerts in the bag.
I feel sad for the kids who've only seen and known him from his scandals and controversies. Not realizing what a great talent and passion he has, both as a musician and a family man (at least sans his lawsuits).
After almost 3 decades of musical genius (back during his Jackson 5 days), I am sure that there is not one band, singer, dancer or even a piano player who will not cite MJ as his musical influence.
How his life ended doesn't even give justice to what he has left all of us with - 3 decades of music and lyrics that just resonate in meaning, no matter how many times it has been re-engineered, re-written, re-arranged or revived.
they did say that death comes in threes and he was the last among the 3 icons who left this world - Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. I just hope that the media will not milk this dry for any self serving or money making purposes.
I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .
Man in the Mirror, MJ
