Actually, I didn’t know how Michael Jackson looks like till first year of graduation, as I remember (fans please forgive me). But I knew him. There were lots of friends who used to dance like him, mainly trying moonwalk. They had VHS of his dance performances. Still I never could see him, as that was like ‘exclusive for them only’. They used to tell, that when he revolves around himself, you feel like his legs, body and head are separate. Wow! I listened without even blinking.
I don’t remember where I saw him for the first time, or which song was that. But more I listened to him, saw him performing, more I got impressed. Mainly, because of his few silent songs, and then his all videos. Everything so grand, you never think of something like that.
I don’t have much memories about him, or I am not even his big fan, but what I remember are few moments.
First time I saw earth song. I know how your heart is filled with urge of doing something for this mother earth, how you feel bad for it. I am sure this song must have made lots of people work for this reason.
First time I saw this stage performance. I am myself a designer, and I like to use things around as design elements. The way he has used everything, which is not a single prop, other than their bodies, is awesome!
Today morning Sapya messaged me ‘long live MJ’
For a second I thought, he is no more, but still tried to convince myself, it may be his birthday, don’t know why.
