YET... LIFE KEEPS GOING - A WORLD IN MOURNING OR ARE WE?


So Michael Jackson died this last Thursday. Will life go on? DEFINATELY! Don't get me wrong, I loved Michael Jackson growing up, and still enjoy his music. Who can ever forget the white glove and red jacket. I remember watching Brandon and his friends breakdancing and doing the moon walk. Who could forget the Pepsi commercial he was filming when his hair caught on fire. He was definately the King of Pop and brought back the meaning of Pop Culture and Dance. Would he make his glorious comeback? Probably, not. But as I thought about this over the weekend, while listening to every radio station play his music and every newspaper and internet site mourned his name, it brought a sick feeling to my stomach. Though this man did a lot for music can we forget what he did with his life. When was the last time we read about his music? 20 years ago? In my mind, he got away with molesting children, spent his money foolishly, not only on on material things, plastic surgery and probably drugs, dyed his skin white, because he was ashamed of his background, donated his dna to produce three children, which he makes them wear veils in public, which by the way where are they?, and claimed to be a victim. I questioned why people cared so much and why did I. I think for me, it is easy to get caught up in the gossip and ways of the world, and after awhile, I thought WHO CARES! He is just another celebrity who didn't take care of himself, and was so wrapped up in his only little world he didn't know what reality was. He hasn't had a single for probably 15 to 20 years and like I said his comeback was never going to happen. For me, I guess I really don't care that he is gone. And, I guess it is a contradiction, that I posted his music, but like I said, I still enjoy his music, but it definately doesn't make me want to mourn the man.

I had no idea that Brandon liked him when he was younger! He gave me a hard time for posting about MJ! I looked at your link...he is so ugly. I think you would have come to his concert with me though!! I agree on everything else you said! I probably should have written all of what you said in my blog, so people don't think I'm a crazy "die-hard" fan!
