Time

I  actually was quite in a dillema before this news about the death of Michael Jackson popped the waves. I kept asking myself, for a long time now, how this man was going to re-invent himself and re establish his supremacy.

 

It felt quite sad, the way he was being dissed by the media, the way he was kind of lurking within his own shadows, afraid of the wild that once adored him.

 

On the death of MJ, there are/is no statement that can summarily act as the last word - to close this case-its much bigger than anything we can just forget.

 

For MJ, for Lennon, for Presley, for Marley, for B.I.G, we are going to just hold on and wait for the return of the son of man and the unveiling of Paradise, so that we can once again, get them to sing for us live.

 

We are going to talk about MJ for forever, at least some of us. There is nothing for me to say that can prove I am/was more of a fan than the next blog chap you will find. However, what my candid bathroom can testify to is that I have made several of those crisp MJ moves many times in my lifetime.

 

Many musicians will continue providing the missing link-outcrop music that reminds us of the king of pop.

 

And of course, In my playlist, the list of dead mens’ music has expanded. Several Kbytes added to the 6GB of music in the Dead Mens’ Section…This man will the join the likes of Hendrix, Lennon, one song by Selena, Miles, Presley, B.I.G, Tupac, Morrison, Marley, Joplin…

 

As a kid, my favourite scene in the videos was the when the zombies were dancing…well, Salute for the king and shout 15.
