Damn....Heal the world just came on BET... last night when i first heard it...again i started tearing up cuz I remembered where I was the first hundred times I've heard this song. It wasn't the best of places but almost as if some type of repressed memory came back i started tearing up. Back in the day I would stay watching Michael Jackson's videos on TV. I don't know what exact day it was out of the year but it was very significant because they would show his videos and it seemed endless and they were all back to back ( almost like music videos were significant in the industry: FU MTV; his definitely were). His moves were significant, his decisions were very unorthodox but his mark on the world....legendary. I didn't see you in the spotlight lately MJ so im gonna admit I thought we forgot about you, but you will be missed.
The world as a collective has ever been a witness to such a catastrophic one casualty loss but we're feeling it now. (maybe Mother Theresa, princess Diana???)
I havent been the best fan but you did leave a mark on me...Rest in Peace Michael Joeseph Jackson....
PS (edit) my brother said some interesting shit "this may be the single most mourned death in history that rivals Jesus" Mother Theresa may come close
no way am i comparing the man to jesus im saying he was a world figure, everyone knew of him and are devastated by the loss. Im just saying aint no one crying about Farrah Fawcett in japan
think about it though a significant amount of people in this world from each country is mourning right now. Everywhere this man went he was loved. He was an entity that resonated with everyone....im just saying...
oh yeah PPS my fav song from him: another part of me
Oh, and if you're hurt (by the statement) get a bandaid
true indeed....the day of his funeral..it will be like the world will stop..everybody will be watching...EVERYBODY...
Your brother is right. I've never in the history of celebrity deaths seen the whole world stop for one person's death. Then again, I've seen concert footage where grown men cried watching him perform, so I wouldn't expect less.
He was an amazing artist and thats the only way I want to remember him, him as a man I dont want to think about.
