Farewell, Michael

Sunday, June 28, 2009

It is indeed sad to know that Michael Jackson is no longer with us. I'm not the biggest fan, but I do have some fond memories from some of his more meaningful songs.

The tributes that have been shown on the various TV channels are simply amazing. And I watched some too just because I know it will be a long, long time before they will be shown again. You don't see much of Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui's stuff on TV anymore, do you?

One of those tributes I caught on TV was a concert that he held. The crowd at the concert was simply incredible. To think that one man can hold up such a crowd, to be so loved...it's really amazing and something to celebrate.

The crowd was so huge that a lot of people were fainting and had to be taken out in stretches. It was quite a scary scene. I wonder if these people have any Rochester personal injury lawyer signed up before going for such a crowded concert! Not sure if they can be insured in such an event altogether.

I remember that the King of Pop came to our shores for a concert that one time. And that was the year that I left for my studies and missed the concert. I heard later that the crowd at that concert was also insane. I can't imagine what it must've been like to see Michael Jackson in person and to be wowed by his performance. I guess I will never know now.

May this most misunderstood soul rest in peace and may he finally see himself as the perfect creature that he is. Farewell, Michael. You have certainly made this place a better place for us with your wonderful music.
