Michael Jackson: King of Pop

moonwalker

I’m really at a loss for words on the news about MJ. I woke up today and it was the first thing on my mind… I was hoping it was just a bad, bad dream. It’s really difficult to understand that your biggest musical influence and musical idol just isn’t with us anymore — especially because as long as I have been alive, he’s been here. I’ve always looked forward to see what his next album will bring… and now, that’s come to a close.

Like everyone else, he had his ups and downs. He was human, although after his huge success some people wouldn’t believe that. He is not a criminal — he was more or less the victim of greedy scum trying to steal cash out of his pocket in the trials of the 90’s. If you still don’t believe me just think about it for a minute: You have the most popular artist in the world. He also happens to have a rare skin pigment disorder, thus he changed his skin color to white to remove it. Of course, there had to have been quite a few surgeries that he never admitted to but basically you’ve got a perfect subject to frame. He looks different and everyone loves a scandal. I’ll never believe he did anything wrong besides being eccentric and having an open mind about hanging out with children. It was as if he just wanted to go back to his childhood… since he never really had one.

Nobody can argue that his music isn’t the most influential music of the last decade. Some have said that he is our ‘Elvis’. I appreciate the sentiment but he was bigger than Elvis ever was and will be.

So I just would like to say “Thank You” for Michael for all that he’s given each one of us in his music. I can’t even count how many times his music has brightened my day, or picked me up when I was in a rough patch in my life. I wish I could do more to tribute him.

Sorry for the lack of updates to the two or three people that probably read my blog! I feel like I’ve been so incredibly busy that I don’t have much time to even relax (don’t worry, I found some time).

I just got moved into my place about 2 weeks ago and finally am to the point where things are getting set up and unpacked properly — it’s exciting! I’ve been catching up on my Daily Show recordings as well… and I stumbled upon a brilliant segment.
