Michael Jackson. You might like him or you might think his music isn't entirely black and white but it cannot be denied that this man was one of the greatest pop stars that ever lived. ________________________________________ The music he made inspired a new era but alas his fall was as great as his climb to the top. Being accused of child molestation isn't something you want to be remembered for. Something went horribly wrong for him. I'm not defending the man such accusations rarely come without merit but one can have a little bit of sympathy for a man that had everything and lost it all because he went mad. When I heard about the release of his new album entitled "Michael" released just before Christmas 2010 I was stunned to say the least. Astonishing! The reality is that the soul of the music disappeared. If you love his music buy the albums produced when he was still alive. The new album is collaborated with many other artist, singers and songwriters. The essence of Michael Jackson is lost in the new album. The real reason for the launch of the album is no secret. The record companies want more money and will even profit from the dead. They will do so with total disregard of human life once the record companies own you, you never get out even in death.
The immorality of the music industry is getting worse there is nothing these people won't do to make money and in the process real music is dying and the masses are fed with garbage to consumeour time and thoughts. It means nothing to be a musician these days. A record company takes a pretty face gives it some vocal training dress it in tight jeans and there you have it a star is born. The music is written by other people the composition of the music done behind the scenes non of it is real.
Why is this so important? Because there are no standards for what is wrong or right in the world any more. Music was one thing that made sense and gave meaning to us all. WIthout it freewill will soon be a thing of the past because thinking for yourself has become to much trouble. Why think if you don't have to?
