I was about to post on Upside-Down's status, since I've written three chapters in a row today. I've just finished a few minutes ago and while I was about to send it to my proof-readers, I've got the news all over the twitter posts and facebook. How sad to know he's gone. How sad to see he's gone on a 25th, although in Spain's already the 26th.
Michael Jackson was my idol when I was 3 years old. I was all about Thriller, I got really upset the day I found out the vinyl disk had banished from our collection, someone had stolen from my house, since that was one of my most played records and suddenly it wasn't there. Then, you might understand, if I was like this for a record, I'm absolutely sad to know he's gone. The only thing that can console me is that he wasn't that young and that his life was decadent in these last years. It was too sad and upsetting watching his precious possessions go in such a ballot. Even when 90% of those goods were absolutely extravagant and useless, but still there were items that had made history and that shouldn't be bid that way. Really annoying.
I know he was a freak for 90 % of the humanity, specially out of The States, but to me he was an idol. Someone who had done so much for Pop, R&B and even Rock music. Someone that had made HIstory. Someone special.
Michael, you weren't inimitable but you certainly were irreplaceable. You were idol of some of my idols, you were special, and they knew it. You're gone now, but sure you know you've done to this world things that no-one else will be able to do.
On a 25th, like Aaliyah, like Lisa. On a 25th. I really hope you're the last who's gone on a 25th.
Rest In Peace, Michael.
