Even though I am no die hard fan of Michael Jackson, yet I have always been fascinated by him , as he had the guts to give himself a different look altogether , than what he had been endowed with genetically, and yet managed to raise himself to the status of a demi god in the field of entertainment.
Talent apart, what Michael had in him was a quest to win over the imagination of the world by his unconventional and implanted looks, as well as by pioneering a style in his music and performances , which became a trademark on their own.
However, despite such marvellous feats in his professional life, he also managed to stun his fans across the world in equal measure, by making a complete mess of personal life, which eventually led to his untimely and tragic demise.
According to the media reports, his overdependence upon the highly potent painkillers and other such powerful drugs, ultimately proved to be his nemesis. But on a deeper reflection, it would become apparent, that the very horse named ‘success’ on which he so merrily rode upon unchallenged, and to everyone’s envy and awe, went out of control , and ultimately ‘fell from a cliff taking its rider along with it’
One wonders, was it too much for him to announce his retirement after getting more than everything in life, and then live a long life like a commoner and devote his life to some worthy social causes like AIDS, environment etc ??
