Michael, you are not alone. There are so many who stand by your star at the Walk of Fame to commemorate your era. There are so many who hear your voice still, they will so for years to come. Legend, they say.
I got thinking. If I were to pick a single artist from the thousands that swarm the music industry today, I would be lost. Just like everything else, this day and age brings to you way too many genres in music. Just like everything else in this world, music has evolved. May I just ask one question? Have we really evolved or have we lost an era, those days when music was good?
We remember those who made music history. And in them stand Sinatra for old-jazz, Elvis - the King of Rock, The Beatles - welcome revolutionaries. They defined new genres of music and left behind a legacy to other artists that perhaps did or didn’t make the most of it. At least there was consolation in the fact that, at that time, music evolution was extraordinary and artists around the world were discovering new heights.
What do we do now that the last living music genius has left us? King of Pop, you have left behind a legacy that I fear artists do not understand. They have failed to be anything like you. They want to be remembered but aren’t genius the way you were.
I fear, with you, an era of good music comes to a close.
