A Living Legend. The King of Pop. The Greatest Icon of his Generation. Michael Jackson.
On June 25, 2009, 2:26pm in the United states, Michael Jackson passed away, at the age of 50.
I woke up today, and the first thing i heard on the local FM through my radio is that Michael Jackson passed away. And the first thing that raced through my mind was: IMPOssIBLE. NO FREAKIN' wAY. but the sombre tone of the DJs were telling me otherwise. And then I went: "Fuck."
Everywhere. Everyone. In the whole world. People are talking about it. they can't believe it. neither can it.
Throughout the whole morning, i was getting the goosebumps. My eyes were welling up. For realz. and i listened to him on my ipod. on the radio. and hearing people talk about him.
He brought the meaning of "Pop" to a whole new level. He was a performer. a breakthrough singer whose songs are still relevant in today's society.
He was an idol. he was my inspiration. he will forever be loved. by the world.
