Michael J is no more. He was the original "Phenom" [with due respect to the original Ronaldo (no not Cristiano)] and at the height of his popularity, was the most well-known person on Earth. Today, the day of Michael Jackson's passing CNN and most other major news networks have been running non-stop specials on him and his legacy. Yet most people should be ashamed for the hypocrisy just because he has died; why must his achievements (some say greatness) only now over-shadow the negative publicity aspects of his life? Not too long ago many were calling him a host of names...wierdo, whacko, psycho, pedophile, plastic man, etc. and he was the brunt of so many jokes.
Being almost of the same age as Michael Jackson, I watched the Jackson 5 on the Andy William's Show in the early 70's and was always aware of Michael Jackson throughout his career, yet at his mid-90s live concert in KL, I got Jeannie a near front-row ticket but was not interested enough to attend. It was the most memorable of the numerous concerts she had ever attended, even since. I am not a MJ fan but an admirer of his obvious talents.
I think most of us should look within and remember how we have judged him; make his sudden demise a lesson in humility. I like this song:
and...
REST IN PEACE MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON
