Assignment 1-4/Weekly Written Analysis

THE KING OF POP

My weekly analysis for this current pop topic, will be the untimely death of Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson has been a part of my life, since I was a little girl. I was always impressed, because we were born in the same year, Michael and I, and I followed the Jackson 5, was president of their fan club, then their was the Jacksons, which included Randy. The news of this death was very heartbreaking, not only to me, but as you know by now, millions and millions of fans, just like me. He was definitely an pop icon. Their was no where on this earth, that did not know about Michael Jackson. His life and music made it possible for so many artists to achieve their goals. I personally have all his albums (WOW), you never know, but I have everybodys from back in the day(Old Skool). I kept all my albums, because I still have a turntable, and play them. I personally saw him twice, when they were the JacksonFive, they performed at The Ohio State Fair, and when they came together and did their Reunion Tour as a group again, I was right their, front and center. No matter how negative the media, has tried to take away from his greatness, I personally have alsways felt he was not guilty, but exploited for the way he expressed himself. He was a great indiviual that changed so many people lives, and I personally would like to say Rest in Peace, and my prayers are with his children and family.
