EMM JAY

not much into weird english music or pop but still Michael Jackson is the name that I know from before childhood. Hardly ever listened to him and saw his out-of-the-world dance performances very few times. read and listeed and tried to know more about the controversies surrounding him in past few years regarding child abuse etc but never really bothered about any of those things.

But still, MJ died today. my friend in the morning sent me a cryptic reply “MJ gone” to my innocent and well meaning Good morning. and MJ…hmmm..when was the last time, if ever, I heard about these initials I dont know still in a split second, I said “MJ? who?? .. michael jackson?”

and this is all I have to say about MJ -a life lived - a life worthy of adulation in my opinion.

I dont what kind of person he was nor I have any opinion about his private life. But i have seen many local comedians, actors, dancers aping him, worshipping him. He got the glory and glorious his name would be forever.

my salute to him and may his soul rest in peace… joining millions of his fans in prayers.
