Ok, so it has been a few days since the legend that is Michael Jackson died. I loved his music, mainly his early stuff though. What i find is really sad is that the press and media have gone the way they usually go, and cover every aspect, just like they did and still do with the late Princess Diana. Today i looked online on yahoo news and they were talking about how MJ's dad is out of the will-do they really care about the loss of the loved one? or do they just care about the selling of products etc.....this is obvious, if the story didn't sell they wouldnt broadcast it.
I know its difficult for these media "big wigs" to take a stepback, because other companies or individuals take on the story and make money, greed is a horrible thing, some civilisations are lucky not to have access to all of this corporate greed.
Anyway, all i want to say is that his music was great, he was a talented musician, singer and dancer, he will be missed, but i feel that in the world that we are in now it didn't work for him, people are desperate to make money in any way they can, and Michael didn't fit in(even though he was minted) He achieved what he has from working very very hard. Todays generation expect to get fame overnight-just like x-factor, Big Brother or whoevers got talent.
He got out at a good time, his music is legendary, and if you could think of anyone that would be missed as much as him within music, i would love to know, Madonna and U2 are the only ones i can think of at the moment, who do you think?
