In memoriam: Michael Jackson, 1958 - 2009

With Michael gone, I kinda feel some sort of emptiness right now. It's that, with him, a quite large portion of my childhood is sorta gone too. I guess it'll be back after I deal with this, but really, it's as if I lost a neighbour or a more-or-less distant relative, because his music is tied to the memories of some of the best times I've had, and I can't thank him enough for that. I spent a lot of time listening to his music, those carefully crafted, unique pop songs that were and are more than just mere songs - they transmit moods and atmospheres, and evoke emotions. Now I feel like the world has lost almost every but a few musical genii that were active several decades ago, producing music unparallelled in quality since. And with Jackson, another icon of modern music is gone, a man most certainly in class with people such as John Lennon, Miles Davis, Marley, Hendrix and all the other people who produced gems of music for us. I'm still all 'no compute' to this news even though I've acknowledged it - because he died young, and because without him here, his music will not sound the same to me anymore, maybe at least for a while.
