Rest in Peace, Michael Jackson

Fri, Jun 26, 2009

Post filled in: Other, Pop

Today my friends, is a sad day for music, because one of the biggest artists in the history of mankind has passed away, just when he had planned a comeback.

Most, if not all of us danced in our home to one of his songs, we all looked up to him, and we all probably made fun of him when all the scandals were out. But today, we pay homage to the man who drove all the world crazy, who’s songs went straight to number one, no matter the country, no matter the year. We pay homage to the music most of us grew up with, and to the man who no matter what was happening, loved his fans more than anything else.

We won’t get into all sort of stats, records, sales, and all that. Here’s to probably the best entertainer there ever was. Cherish the music, enjoy it – it will make him happy.

Andrei is a lefty student that HAD too much spare time on his hands; so to fill that up, he decided to blend in two of his passions: music, and writing. The result was that he started ZME Music with TP, taking fatherly care of it. Also, he started to play guitar a couple of years ago, truly believing Jimi Hendrix lives inside of him

    “We won’t get into all sort of stats, records, sales”

    So you couldn’t even be bothered to write a decent memorial to the man… five minutes of research was too much. Just some stuff anyone could have said. That’s real journalism.

    Boogie, you could always just click the Wiki link in the article. Christ, when every other website in the entire internet seems to be writing essay-length articles on how many copies the Japanese import of Thriller sold in Texas, I think a short, simple article encouraging us to consider our individual memories of Jacko is far more appropriate.

    Besides, like you say, sales records are easily researched within five minutes. Surely that qualifies as “some stuff anyone could have said”.

    I wrote a huge comment, but by the time I was ready to submit, I noticed what Al wrote, and he put what I wanted to say in way fewer words, so thanks mate.

    Indeed, I didn’t write a memorial, because what really remains is the music, and after all this hype is over, those will love and listen to his music are those who did this when he was alive. We’ll all remember him in our personal way, regardless of numbers, so no need to get hypocritical and melodramatic.

    P.S. you’ll find more data in the sites and magazines that will definitely ‘feed’ of this story hyena style, no worries about this.
