A piece of news that shocked the music industry and on a larger scale, the entire world. He, who self proclaimed to be the King of Pop, died in Los Angeles after a cardiac arrest. Till now, the actual cause of his cardiac arrest is still under investigation. Facebook homepage was flooded with messages to Michael Jackson (MJ) shortly after news broke on MSN homepage. Google HQ panicked and thought hackers were spamming the search engine with 800,000 MJ searches. It was a big hoo-ha. The only thought that came to mind in that instance was "why are people cherishing him only after death?" Is he worth more in death than when he was alive? And the newspapers answered my doubts. Yes, he might be the next Elvis Presley who founded more fame than he was alive. People snapping up his CDs in music stores... searching for his songs on youtube and favouriting them... creating new groups and pages in FB for likeminded others to join. I got to admit i'm not a die-hard fan of MJ and do not see the pain his fans face. Rather, i pity MJ himself. He founded fame, been through many facial surgeries (which resulted in health issues), was alleged a paedophile, carried a US$400 million debt, earned royalties and did concerts just to see himself through. I wonder if he ever felt true happiness in his life. A famed celebrity whose music will live on for decades or even centuries (i suppose). To some, as long as his music is alive, his soul is still with us. R.I.P Michael Jackson. Posted by Lynette at |
