Legacy

''Make a little space..Make a better place''
-Heal the world, Michael Jackson.
Having heard about M.J's death made me spent the rest of the afternoon making research about his life-story on the internet. Moreover it kept me sitting on the couch watching his THS on channel E. Although I've seen it a couple of times before, it does'nt really felt the same as like watching it on the day hearing about his death! And no-I'm not going to update further information about his death, since probably most of you have heard about it from various sources. But I managed to find an article by Michael Ventre that you might find interesting:

‘King of Pop’ leaves the legacy of a boy prince
-Famous since childhood, singer was never comfortable in adult world-

Most kings are destined to be remembered as kings, not as the person they had been before ascending to power. Even though Michael Jackson earned recognition as the “King of Pop,” the legacy he leaves is that of a boy prince.

Michael Jackson was never comfortable in the adult world. Early on he recognized he would be the happiest in the land of Ferris wheels, cotton candy, docile animals and 24/7 playtime, and he clung to that life. He looked at film of the Jackson 5, circa 1968, noticed the front man was a kid, and wondered whatever

Michael Jackson passed away today. It’s always sad when parents outlast their children. It’s even sadder when the inner child and the adult can’t decide who will go first.
