Gone is the King of Pop… But Not Forgotten
As the world mourns the loss of one of music’s greatest stars, Michael Jackson, I ponder his legacy. Michael certainly had his problems, but once a little time has passed, I think he’ll be best remembered for all of his great songs. He made his mark back in the early 1980’s with the biggest selling album of all time, “Thriller.” Many wonderful songs later, he began to be viewed as “unusual,” to say the least, for all of his personal problems. But just like Elvis and Frank Sinatra before him, we will remember Michael, too, for his musical contributions. We don’t choose to remember Elvis as the overweight, drug-addicted person, but rather the King of Rock and Roll. The slender, attractive, heart throb Elvis is who we most think of. I, for one, will miss Michael. He had it tough at times, and maybe some of that he brought on himself. But like his great song, “Man in the Mirror” says, “If you want to make a change(in the world), take a look in the miror.” We could all benefit if we followed that advice. Good bye Michael. We will miss you.
