Michael Jackson passed away yesterday, and the first thing
that came to mind was, well what else did have to do? I know that seems
completely heartless, but honestly its not like the guy is going to clean up
his image too much has happened.
Then around 1140ish last night I heard an interview with
him. Michael was talking about how he would never have awards in his house
(which he won plenty) because he always wanted to push himself further and
awards will make you feel like you have achieved something.
That’s when I realized what an amazing singer and performer
he was and it made me feel a strong loss as a music fan. Weird to think, but he
was singing in the Jackson
5 when the Beatles ruled the world (what a history he has had). Michael Jackson
might go down as the biggest Pop act of all time and as one of the biggest Pop
Culture icons (for good or bad reason) of all time.
So love or hate him you must respect the body of work his
has put out there. He still currently has the #2 selling album of all time.
