Something is all the buzz right now and I can’t help it, I must give my two-cents. You all know what’s coming.
This is the Michael Jackson Post.
Right now, I’m sitting here at my desk in my polka-dotted boxers jamming to Billie Jean and remember the first time I experienced The King of Pop.
I used to watch TV late at night as a kid. The first, and ultimately the most profound, music video I ever remember seeing was Michael Jackson’s Black or White. It was so new to me. An entirely different experience. The video was epic, well directed, highly entertaining and it presented a catchy lesson. Although I always found it a bit ironic. Maybe my generation owes more than we think to the late Michael Jackson.
It was always a great day when I happened to catch a Michael Jackson video on television.
I was young and impressionable but, Michael Jackson, despite his own personal struggles, always presented an idealistic view of humanity through the lens of his music.
His songwriting was genius to the point of absurdity. He had a special way of taking serious topics and turning them into 5 minute earworms that would keep you foot-tapping all day.
Even though many other musical artists were hitting the air-waves in the early 90’s, I grew up Michael Jackson.
Thank you Michael. You will be forever remembered.
