I wouldn't go far as to call Michael Jackson my favorite artist of all time, but he was not very far behind. Only you had to forget the last few albums of his. And so I was very sad when I came to know of MJ's passing away in LA a few hours back.Most people these days remember him for all the nose jokes, his media antics, a child star who never really grew up, accused of child abuse and laughed at for his appearance. But for me, I will always remember MJ at his prime, the man he was in the 80's, with those slick moves and that superb voice of his. His manic energy filled "Just beat it" is one of my all time favorite songs [thanks to Van Halen's prodigious talent as well ] and his "Liberian Girl" is one of the most romantic that I have ever heard. And I shouldn't even start talking about "Thriller" which sold a still unbroken record of 100million copies. So here is my toast to MJ, for living an interesting life!! I hope he finally found his way to neverland in the end. I am going to listen some of his songs as we witness an era die before us. We will miss you MJ!
