Heal the world........

The very first time I heard Black or White and the Dangerous album, I was hooked to the walkman. Yes, in the early 90s, the walkman with audio cassette player was the in thing! The audio cassette was one of my elder cousin sister's and I had borrowed it while she was home. An audio cassette of an international pop star was pretty expensive and I never dared to buy one.............

I would have heard all the songs a couple of times, flipping the cassette each time it ended on one side. I remember my mom getting really annoyed with my headphones glued to the ears, and not listening a word of what she was talking. That was the influence of the songs and the beats of MJ's songs on me....I was just in my early teen probably. I only had heard about this musician and minus the internet or the satellite television, one hardly knew what sort of music was created and played on the other side of the world.

Wish there was internet to research and hear more songs of MJ then......even I would have been like those crazy fans at the Staple centre, LA. All those who queued up to watch his memorial.

Today, I have an overdose of Michael and his life, death, the cause of the death, his career, his family...blah blah blah....everything that starts and ends with him. The television is brimming with information and the web traffic is quadrapuled.........his songs are the top selling in Itunes and the record sales of his albums......

Rest in peace, king of pop..........heal the world.
