Michael Jackson, twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame , 13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles and over 750 million records worldwide. Yes, Jacko, the undisputed and unrivalled King of pop is dead and the world rightly mourns.
I've no problem understanding the mourning of icons like Michael but what I take issue with, is the disproportionate, outrageous and gonzo-steroid outpouring of grief. Death is our common inevitable destiny, and it 'ain't matter whether you're black or white'. However, low lives and nincompoops can now make intelligent statements like 'the world would never be the same', 'This generation will have to live with this loss forever', etc. These expressions of latent personal inadequacy, upscaled and expressed through gross generalizations and utterances, is my problem.
Michael Jackson never had a childhood! Yes, but so do millions of children in the third world. On the pluss side, Jacko wasn't given a gun and asked to obliterate his own family in order to demonstrate loyalty. Say nothing but good of the dead- I agree. But Jacko was estimated to be worth around 1 billion USD, and before his death, Jackson had announced a 50-date sell-out comeback tour, in London, England. The reason? Partly to cushion him out of a 500 million dollar debt.
May Jacko rest in peace, and my condolences go solely to the Jackson family. My heartfelt condolences go to those children and adults around the world who can't make TV appearances, and for whom death remains the only surcease, not from a life of affluence, but one of destitution.
Finally, until someone can show me a single child in Africa or Asia who would be having a meal less because of Jacko's death, I'll save some of my condolences for the true wretched of earth.
