the King of Pop is dead. just like that. with a rumored "cardiac arrest," Michael Jackson has passed away. it's still surreal and mindblowing. i recall listening to some of his jams back in the day: "thriller," "you are not alone," "black and white," "the way you make me feel," "don't stop till you get enough," and of course, "billie jean." it's just so sad to sit back and think how miserable this guy's life has been in the past decade. imagine having your perfect music career tarnished by a sexual harassment/child pedophilia court case, several marriages, and depicted every other day in tabloids and comic strips with and without a nose, touching and sleeping with children. if the "cardiac arrest" is true and he wasn't on coke or some hard substance, i can only imagine how much stress this guy was going through. he's 50, a couple years shy of my parent's age. how is someone so young going to die of a cardiac arrest. all in all, rest in peace, michael jackson. rest in peace.
