MJ...I Will Miss Your Music

Has the media frenzy that has surrounded Michael Jackson and his untimely death gone on long enough. My answer to that is yes as I sat down just minutes ago, flipped on my tv and there was more MJ shows on. But in all honesty, I get it. No, truly I do.

MJ died at the tender age of 50. So young. But take a step back and think about this, the man had been in the music industry for 40 years. Now that in itself is insane. Imagine you, being thrown into the music industry at the age of 10 and never taking a step back from it, wow.

I have heard a lot of different opinions on MJ's death. You know what they say about opinions, they are like assholes. Everyone has one and most of them stink. Let's face some of the facts about MJ shall we.

1. He made amazing music at the age of 10.
2. He changed the way the music was and still is made.
3. His Thriller album sold th most copies of any album...EVER.
4. His Thriller video changed the way videos were made.
5. He was an amazing entertainer, maybe even one of the best.
6. The man had moves that no one today can even match.
7. And finally, he was a tortured soul.

I have heard a lot of people say that good another child molester is gone. I wonder if the people saying that ever took a step back and though, maybe, just maybe, he didn't touch a child. Sure, cases were brought against him BUT they were also settled out of court. In today's world it makes me wonder if the parents of those children were after a payout, knowing most likely that the case would never see the inside of a court room.

I refuse to judge someone that I didn't know like that. I sure don't live in a glass house, therefore I will not cast a stone. All I can assume is that he was probably a lonely man that never really had a childhood and that really messed him up and it was something he probably never recovered from. He was a real life Peter Pan.

I hope he has found peace now as the world celebrates his life exactly how he wanted it, with his music. His music will stand the test of time because after all, he was, still is and will always be The King of Pop.
