Michael Jackson: Creative Genius

This is completely off-topic from the usual K-1 fiancee and K-3 spousal visa information that we post here. But given the recent news surrounding Michael Jackson’s death, I just had post something.

I remember seeing the Thriller video for the first time and just being amazed at the music, the dancing, and the special effects. It really was a ground-breaking video for its time, and it seems like so many things that Michael did rose to that level.

Beat It will always be a favorite song, and Eddie Van Halen’s guitar riff is a total classic. I always thought it was neat to show to all the metal-heads in Jr. High who were listening to Judas Priest and Scorpion that a musician from that genre could collaborate with Michael and make such a great song.

It’s sad to see all the media circus surrounding the aftermath of his death. Of course, the past several years of his life certainly created this type of atmosphere. The juicy details regarding his will, custody of his kids, the mother of his kids– they’ll provide fodder for the media for quite some time. Yet in the midst of it all, I hope his kids are able to find refuge among loved ones while they mourn their loss. And I hope that people remember his tremendous music and the impact it has had on our world.

The King of Pop will be missed.
