I was sitting outside at the Starbucks with my wife this morning. While we were talking, a car stops at the street lights. He had the windows down and Michael Jackson’s thriller was playing vary loudly. My wife and I look at each other and smiled. Not the normal smill that we would have had a week ago meaning ‘looser’ but the smile that meant that we remembered the man that is now dead and the music legacy that he left.
Perspective is everything.
I’m sadend by his death. For several reasons. But the one that sticks out the most is that I would have loved to see his comback. He had planed about 50 concerts in London’s 20,000-seat O2 Arena. The concert series would have stretched from July 8 to February 12, 2010. He had not toured since his 82-date HIStory world tour in 1996-97, which grossed $178 million.
I was secretly pulling for him. I would have liked him to make a great comeback. Now we will never know if he would have made it back as the king of pop.
A few books on the King of pop.
