Michael Jackson R.I.P.
Last night it happened. Usually, I’m not shocked by news even when they are shocking ones, probably because of overexposure to Media; they just don’t seem that real most of time. But this was different, I confess that it shocked me and surprised me a lot. I’m not used to be this impacted by Internet or TV. Maybe it happened because it was almost personal. It’s not that I’m a Michael Jackson fan, although I really love many of his songs, but because I my youth I was a fan and it marked my relation with music.
My first vinyl (not really my as it was offered as a birthday gift to my older brother.. but we share) was Bad. I was about 7 years old and it was something special, I really listen to it; I even record it to K7 (piracy ??) so I could listen to it on my crappy Walkman.
I even remenber that on my street (the time when kids just hang around at the streets and play there) we were really exciting about going to see the Moonwalker movie at a friend’s house. Remembering now, that film is unimportant, but it really impressed me at that age.
Micheal Jackson had a weird development and strange living, but hell, he could never be normal, not with his talent and cultural surroundings.
This really feels like it was too soon, but it happens when it happens.
RIP
