the passing of king of pop

The news that shocked me in the morning. Yesterday, I was just listening to Billie Jean on youtube. For all the courtsuits and scandals that suddenly seemed so insignificant, the world mourns the passing of the one and only King of Pop.
I’m not a fan of MJ but it’s impossible not to know his songs. It’s everywhere and i hear it all the time. On radio, on tv. It’s so common that it’s almost a given, that this man and his music is always there, whether is it during a dancing saturday night, a geography class or a dance competition. And to realise that his music has revolutionalized pop music. And all these people who are always imitating his moves, his dances, either in awe, in respect or in mockery.
For a star that has soared so high, higher than anyone has ever reached in this generation, his last moments were probably an extremely lonely one. RIP Michael Jackson. The legacy you’ve left behind, the music that changed the world. The world is still broken, but there are now people who are inspired and living the words from Heal The World.
