the sad story of music industry´s frankenstein has a sad end too, as expected
For the jokers, it's really unwarranted. That guy did more for music, gave up more for music, changed the world more with his than anyone on the planet. I would say the world changed for the better because of him.
Thriller is the best selling album of all time, you probably can't even find it in a store today even though it is always in stock. He'll probably be charting every release he ever had this week. Understand what an impact he made on so many lives. If he's not your favorite performer, he's one of your top 3 favorite performers' favorite performer. Transcending genre.
It's really easy to say "he chose this life" when thinking about how he was constantly hounded and how he chose to seek attention. Think about the logistics of him trying to drop off the map... how could he ever lower his profile enough to drop out of the news and just be normal? He was in debt up to his ass because people leeched off of him and abused him his entire childhood. Then continued into his adult life. It's not any wonder that he wanted to be a kid when he grew up.
It's just a reminder what fucking barbarians there are out there, who would take such advantage of him. I truly believe that at a certain point he didn't have any option of a normal life and so he rocked it til the fuckin wheels fell off. The world is rightfully in mourning. People will point out all of the other people dying around the world, and say that Michael Jackson is but one man... to them I say exactly... if one man is that valuable to the world, his death highlights what potential we lose with the death of any individual on this earth.
Hopefully this event can be somewhat instructive. And anyone who isn't feeling the loss right now needs to sit down with his discography from beginning to end and then pop in a DVD of one of his concerts and see what a real performer looks like. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but he came from a time when autotune wasn't an option. Natural singing ability that is unmatched. Dance moved that are unmatched. Years of grinding as a kid. Singers today cannot compete. Singers back then couldn't compete.
Finally RIP Michael.
