sooo I was wondering if I should write something or not...

I mean everyone is talking about it, right???

but what can I say???

I wasn't his fan, nor follower... sure I like some of his songs and I grew up listening some stuff by him, but nothing else...

I think it's shocking because we have a notion that famous ppl are eternal somehow... yes, yes, I know all the *he'll live forever in his music and the inspiration he was for millions of ppl, etc* I know it's true

but I guess it's shocking to realize that they're human after all... and they're as fragile as anyone

dunno...

it's just weird to see this massive reaction after all the hating and trashing

I mean, I respect him for all the things he did to contribute to music and pop culture and all of that

but I can't help but feeling grossed by all the hypocrites out there

it's like one day everyone is pointing at him saying he's a total freak whatever and the next thing he dies and suddenly "he was greater than life"??? *I heard someone said that on the news*

PLZ!!!!

makes me nauseous

suuuuuuuuuuuuuure it isn't nice to bad mouth the dead or whatever is the expression, I know that

but what?? he had to die just for ppl to forgive him and now he's almost a saint???

I think it's sad =(

I think it's sad someone has to die to be appreciated again...

but I guess that's how things are...

**************************

I was supposed to make a strip, but I don't think it'll be respectful, I'll try to ul tomorrow

if you feel like bashing it's ok, I know ppl are sad

See ya!!

well it's just, for many people he wasn't that freak, okay maybe a little eccentric, but was okay, at least for me who planned to go to his last tour this year.

also, we must remember that we don't treasure something till you already lost it. That's why people crying now.

Being freak, eccentric or a weirdo, whatever, but he was a man that you could say, this is an artist.

he had a big life. while his death was sudden, i'm not surprised by the reaction.

his art and talent was too great, and no doubt the pressure of that strained him. to many people, he was a god, or a freak--but he was just a man.

we don't appreciate what we had until it's lost.

I think there's a difference between his personal and professional life, and it's his professional life that many people praise. Sure, people can think he's a total creep during his life, but there's no way anyone can deny the fact that he brought a lot of things to the entertainment industry that will be sorely missed with his passing.
He was the "King of Pop" and it's not a title that just came from nothing. A lot of artists have been inspired by him and he was a great innovator with his creativity.

I think that's what other people respect and choose to remember him as. No one (or at least no one I've seen) is remembering him as the greatest and best person ever, but as one of the greatest artists ever, which, in a way, he sorta is.
