sky blue.
Michael JacksonAugust 29, 1958–June 25, 2009
i am so sad!
i got the shock of my life today. on the way to school, i heard news about michael jackson passing away at the age of 50.
some people ask me why i'm even bothered, why i even care. honestly, i was never a huge fan but i know one thing was for sure, he made good music. damn good. oh, and one more thing? he was THE king of pop.
it confuses me when people dont get why everyone else other then themselves are so worked up over his death. the question 'why is everyone getting so worked up over his death?' should have been 'why is everyone NOT getting so worked up over his death?'
so need i say more? he was an icon, a legend, and i'd rather people remember him for his music than for his personal life, however troubled and controversial it may have been. and mind you, his multiple surgeries and ever-changing appearance was never an issue with me, so it's unfortunate that he received so much ridicule for it. like, what was the big deal exactly? the tabloids, and the public, were never kind to him. and i cannot believe how people are still saying bad things (true or untrue) about him, especially since he's passed on! i was on facebook and noticed some people there just havent any respect.
thriller, that's the song - and the music video! - i will always remember him for.
rest in peace, michael.
