Post # 11: Commenting the news

I think the news with the biggest impact on me this year, was the dead of Michael Jackson “The King of Pop”. Michael for several years was the most important artist on the pop scene, and his music is well known in the whole world, also his dramatic life. I grew up listening to Michael’s music, and I think he was almost famous as The Beatles, so it doesn’t no matter if you don’t like music too much, I’m sure you have heard music of “Jacko” anyway. I saw this new by the internet, I remember I came as every evening to see the news by the internet, and when I opened “La tercera” I could read the next phrase “ Michael Jackson is dead”; first I couldn’t believe it, but then I turned on the T.V. and every single channel of the television, was passing the news. It’s true that, from the day I was dead, until today, no one knows what happened really, but It seems that he was killed by a overdose of “Demerol” . His personal doctor putted him an injection, and the dose was very high, so Jacko could’t hold on and he made a heart shock. It’s true that this even it has no relevance for the country, but It has a great relevance for the music in general all over the world, because Jacko’s music influence has no boundaries: pop, rock, electronic, folk…all music genders has something of Jacko music, so we all that love music in general, agree that the lost of Michael Jackson is a great lost for music and entertainment. I felt sad, because his music has a big meaning to me, specially for mi childhood when I remember many things, but like George Harrison said on a song of The Beatles : “ All things must pass away….”, and I think the way that Jacko died, is the way an artist should die: still young, by irregular causes, and of course by an overdose of some drug.

Long Live to King of Pop!
