THE Legend
I’ve always thought that Michael Jackson was a super fantastic performer and entertainer, and not to mention, an out-of-this-world dancer.
I’ve always been a fan of his music and videos, and I’ve got most of his albums, even the singles. And I still maintain that no one does music videos like MJ does.
Recently, I had to do some research on his songs/dance moves so I went on youtube to search for his videos. I managed to find the video for “They Don’t Care About Us”, the prison version, which I’d always wanted to see but never managed to get hold of it. Watching the video and listening to the lyrics brings to mind again how many of MJ’s songs touch on social and environmental issues/subjects - Heal the World, Earth Song, Black or White, Scream, Man in the Mirror, etc. Some of the footages in the accompanying music videos are quite sad and disturbing, but relevent to the world we live in today.
Regardless of whatever’s happened in his personal life (bizarre!), his weird characteristics, and other dramatic appearances, I do think that he will be THE legend when he eventually passes on.
