Thoughts of Jackson's passing I
Jackson has passed on.
This is a great, great loss. I still am 'coming to terms' with it; even though I am a non-fan. It is such a shock since Jackson's presence has always been huge worldwide. He's a phenomenon in itself. He's perfect tabloid fodder. It's rather surreal to realise that never again will we read about his weird doings, weird goings-on in Neverland, his breakthroughs in music..
I haven't been following any news of Jackson (except of late), nor have I heard any of his songs. I only read stuff that comes out in our papers. 'wacko' and 'distressing' is what comes to mind when I think of him. 'waste of talent' and 'sad life' is what comes to mind - for now - when I think of him.
The only Jackson stuff I have seen is his MoonWalk and a short MTV of him from his early days, dancing with his back-up dancers like a zombie. (Thriller?) Even then, those were but vague memories.
This feels a tad reminiscent of the post-Leslie days, although I'm not infatuated with Jackson. Thoughts running through my head though, wonder why he left so early, wonder what's (related to him) going to happen in future. A part of me already 'misses' the fact that I'll no longer read about him, except of the memories of people who knew and/or loved him.
Tempted though I may be to search news on Jackson, to listen to his songs, to read more of his biography, I'd do well to steer clear of all these stuff for now.
I do so love men (humans) of talent. Can't resist them, for the life of me =(
RIP Jackson =)
What a sad life you must have led..to have driven you to do what you have done.
When one day I finally listen to your music and watch your videos, I believe you'll far surpass Presley. I believe you will not disappoint my expectations of you. ^^
Luck to Jackson's family and friends <33
And fans.
Only days ago I was reading about Lady Gaga's granny-underpants-as-hot-pants story. And now, Jackson's.... But a long time seemed to have passed between these two stories. Although it was only a day or two..
