| To be honest, I was never much of a fan of Michael Jackson's. I liked a few of his songs and recognized his talent, but it never went beyond that. All I knew bits and pieces of his background from VH1 specials and always thought he was weird (and that I really liked that song from Free Willy!) But when I heard he was in the hospital and then that he had passed away, I was shocked. It's Michael Jackson. How could he be dead?? Michael Jackson has just... well, he's literally always been there. There hasn't been a "me" without Michael Jackson. By the time I was born he was beyond a superstar, and it felt really strange, even as someone who wasn't personally touched by his work, for him to be gone. Over the past couple of days though, after seeing the emotional responses, memorials, spontaneous celebrations of his life all over the world and learning a little bit more about the man himself and his tragic life, even I have started crying over his passing. Watching all those videos and reading about him didn't paint the insane "Wacko Jacko" picture I had been used to, but a portrait of a genuinely kind and troubled man. I was floored when I saw the recent video of him when he was talking about his new tour and telling his fans how much he loved him because it felt so real. You don't come across something like that often, much less from an artist as big as Michael Jackson. It was very sad to read as a victim of child abuse myself, and I felt for him. I began to understand that it's not only about him dying, but the fact that so many people all over the globe (and history itself) were genuinely influenced and affected by him. He gave so many people joy in their lives, and this video is just one of the many showcasing just that. So RIP Michael Jackson. I'm sorry it took your death for me to even bother to begin trying to understand you and realize your impact on the world. But I feel that I know you a little better now and hope you are in a good place. Sorry for the tl;dr, I just wanted to get it out and everyone around me has been cracking jokes and shit at a dead man's expense. :') best stuff i've read. I take back my words that the idea is not to live forever but to create something that does, for that itself has its own serious consequences. And not to mention people who always said that he needed to die, pedophile or whatnot. Why so hard on him guys? People with no respect for the dead, famous or not, are just pathetic, one who can't live a fulfilling life and will learn the meaning of death the hard way. I think I'd rather not have his legendary songs and have him live a great, normal childhood so that he didn't have to be this mentally unstable. Tragedy even to his very last day. |
