MJ: Final Thoughts

This post marks the final post of the MJ week I did on the blog here. Starting tomorrow the blog will return to posting design trends and so on. However I'd like to leave you with few thoughts. The Michael Jackson phenomena can only conclude that he was no ordinary man. In his professional life or otherwise. He touched millions of lives worldwide and inspired a lot of music and art today. He spoke to the human need inside all of us. The need to be loved. He didn't sing about the "bling", the "swag" or how good he was in bed. He had a universal message to all humanity. To respect and love each other regardless of colour or ethnicity. That's why his music transcended any boundaries and people from all corners of the world admired him. People loved the man who amused them when he danced and made them emotionally connected when he sang. When we lost him, it felt like we lost a messenger. Someone who gave the world hope and inspiration. Michael Jackson was a true visionary, he created music as we know it today and transformed our culture forever. You can share a memory and leave a message in remembrance at his official website. I hope we can all learn something from his life. R.I.P MJ.
