Michael Jackson dead at 50

I woke up so late in the morning to finish my thesis proposal...and the first thing I usually do (aside from taking a pee) is to open my net ang log in to facebook.

Netscape is the browser that I'd use this morning and the Headline caught my attention. Michael Jackson just passed away on Thursday, June 25 at 2:26 pm in UCLA hospital due to cardiac arrest.

I'm one of the big fans of this sensational popstar, as I grew up in the 80s, when he was soooo BIG a star then. Madonna and Michael Jackson are among the icons I ican vividly remember shown on music videos in the 80s (back then, there was no MTV or Channel V...and these music videos were just fillers in the local TV channels).

Nostalgia. A twinge of sorrow.

Micheal Jackson was a legend. An icon.

Indeed, nothing is permanent in this world. Even fame, power, and in MJs case, skin color.

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, will be remembered fondly by the 80s babies like me.
