The King of Pop
August 25, 1958-June 25, 2009
The King of Pop dies at 50 years old!
I couldn't believe what I had heard, he was such an amazing INSPIRATION to all of us! Not to sound cliche, I felt really sad and down about it. I was hanging out in Soho with some friends and a girl asked us if it was true if Michael Jackson had died, that's how I found out about his tragic death. At first, I thought it was a hoax, but then I thought this cannot be a joke, nobody would play a joke like that. I cried. He was a great man, as far as his music goes. Throughout his whole career, the media and people kept on bashing him and calling him weird. Like let the man live, he was a very private, introvert man, what's wrong with that? And now that he has passed away, everyone wants to listen to his records and say nice things. People are still bashing him now, let the man rest in peace. Is no wonder that he might have been addicted to prescription medicine, he had a rough childhood, not that thats an excuse for him to act the way he did. He wasn't different, he just did things in a different style than the "norm" way that others would, so because he did things differently, he was called weird? Give me a break!
I thought uniqueness and individuality was a good thing. This is why he perhaps escaped from the criticism and judgmental world in his privacy, his Neverland ranch, and whatever else he used as an escape. So sad that he wasn't understood, that is all he wanted, to be understood!! It's like you're screaming but nobody hears you! It's a cruel, cruel world out there, it takes a toll on people especially when you are alone and have no one supporting you. Everyone wants to be understood! Is that so much to ask? Poor Michael! How would you feel if no one understood you as a person and your perspective?
The media was trying to bash him and tried to make him look like a psycho child molester. HATERS!! So much envy and hate in wanting to bring Michael down because he wasn't conforming to society and how they think people are suppose to be like. So wrong. He was and will always be a great man, THE LEGEND that he is. His music is beyond wonderful! Love you Mike.
Regardless of it all, I still like Michael! Michael is one of my favorite names.
