Michael Jackson Dies at 50

So...I hear tell this Michael Jackson fella died yesterday.  Lot's of sadness out there and some even calling it a tragedy.  Hmm.  I guess I don't particularly feel that way.  Sure, I am sad for his family as I would be for anyone that lost a loved one.  But the Michael Jackson I appreciated died years ago...like, early to mid 90's.  Even before child molestation charges came out, he was already a strange joke of the master he once was.  I'll give you thatat least..at one point, he was a master.  He mastered just about every form of advertising and entertainment.  He was a huge star.  And he recorded a number of songs that I still enjoy.  But I cannot say I am feeling much grief over his death as I am rather "grieved out" after these past fifteen years or so.  The genius may have caused that downturn, but it happened nonetheless.  I cannot even say it is a shame he did not have his comeback chance because he did...many times over.  And every time, he was just a bit more frightening.  And that's the sadness...that's the tragedy.  Not his eventual end which we will all succumb to someday.  I will say rest in peace, Michael.  You gave me some good memories and this is at least a good chance to recall the 80's......................................and that's done.  That is all.
