King of Pop departs – But did we let him depart in peace?
Michael Jackson’s sad demise on the 25th of June 2009 came as a shock to the whole world. And even before his cause of death could be confirmed, there were speculations about whether his kids were in fact his, what kind of debt he had left behind, who was on his will, how many plastic surgeries he had had. There was even one piece of news that suspected that the person that died was not Michael. Come on man, give me a break. The man has just died for Pete’s sake.
None of the speculations were something the world did not know about already. Michael’s kids with Lisa Presley. Let’s see, Michael is black, Lisa is white, the kids are white with blue eyes and blonde hair. Now if that did not make you raise your eyebrow sometime in the past 15 years, then you might keep, revisiting your biology lectures, on the cards, like the great Katt Williams pointed out

He is gone and we need to respect him for the person he was despite all the whacked out stuff. He is no different from Marilyn Manson when it comes to being crazy. Fact, he got extensive plastic surgery (EPS), so what? Do you want me to start naming all the peeps who got EPS done? Never mind…Then followed the accusation of child molestation. So let me get this straight, he built a multi million dollar child amusement park so he could doodle around with the kids….right!! I’ll buy that….NOT…
In one of the interviews, Lisa mentioned that long before when they were together and the topic of her father’s (Elvis Presley – for the ones who could not decipher that by now) death cropped up, Michael had said “I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did.” Weird!!!
He single-handedly created a trend revolution with his penchant for military detailing, sequin jackets and red leather in the 1980s and challenged the mainstream fashion looks of the era and an army of fans began to emulate some of his more elaborate fashion choices, often donning his trademark single rhinestone glove in tribute or pinning on military badges to their jackets. His peg-leg cropped trousers, worn with white ankle socks and black loafers were the next to create the rave throughout the young generation.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Jacko was the only celebrity with the maximum number of lookalikes. He created music which very few are not aware of (this is apart from the wannabes who know what hes worth and still deny it coz its pop and they are way too cool for it)….baaarf
Anyway, he’s gone and let us remember him what he was made for and what he made best….music.
RIP Jacko…..
Cheers!!!
