I've come not to praise MJ but to bury him.
Seems like anything
and everything the news has been on Michael Jackson. North Korea and
Iran might have started world war 3 but you'd never hear it from all the
MJ news and views on every channel. Of course, the self serving Sheryl
Crow pops on about her having her son and all this and that bla bla.
Nice to know we can sleep better knowing that. Of course if it wasn't
for MJ giving the Miss Queen of The Universe a spot on her tour, she'd
be a unknown from Armpit Missouri. Arizona might have to shut down
the government here since they're running out of money but that's
secondary to countless reports of MJ's second autopsy.
It's not
for me to say to doubt the legacy of MJ. He died like Elvis Presley.
At least EP was spared the internet and the countless cookie cutter news
channels that seem to dwell on each and every irrevant thing out
there. At least Elvis didn't have Perez Hilton or TMZ. His high point
remained Off The Wall, his 1979 Epic debut which would ballooned into
Thriller, the all time best selling album till The Eagles Greatest Hits 1
knocked it off the top spot. Jackson's death will get it back to the
top. After Thriller, MJ couldn't followed it up although Bad was a good
followup and the rest trying to keep up with the new techology but
ending up something like product rather than classic stuff. Perhaps the
biggest highlight of his life was the Motown 25th special on TV when he
moonwalked and raised the stakes to the level that even he could never
ever top again.
MJ was the MTV's version of The Beatles and Elvis
and although it gave MJ the fame and fortune, it also took away any
privacy he had left in this life. Basically he was a kid at heart even
at his age but the world looked upon that as him being the most unsavory character and the least trustworthy to watch over your kids. Which span
many a lawsuit from so-called Moms and dads who claimed child abuse.
I'd doubt that.
In the end, he died from either a heart attack
or a drug induced heart attack but in the end you can say he died of a
broken heart. So now the world mourns him after they shunned him the
past twenty years.
In the end, everybody dies. Billy Mays the
K-Tel/Ronco spokesman of this decade hits his head on a rough plane and
though laughs it off, it kills him at age 50, same age as MJ. Gale
Storm, the long time actress and singer of the 50s passes away at age 87
and is a footnote as well. Countless others passed away too but
everything takes a backseat to the passing of MJ. That's all I have
seen on the newscast.
Finally, is MJ better than Elvis or The
Beatles? The people who lived through through those decades will doubt
that will the children of the MTV generation (when MTV played music
videos) will say yes. He's gone now folks, and all the harboring and
news speculation will not bring him back. I'm sure MJ himself would
rather not come back since the CNN or FOX or MSNBC runs this into the
ground.
The King Of Pop is gone, and no amount of magic fairy
dust will bring him back. Didn't work with Elvis either. Otherwise
he'd be here and we'd be getting his thoughts on the subject.
