The End of an Era

I'm sure people have written, read, watched, and listened to a lot of Michael Jackson this weekend. Some people have even said that maybe we are paying too much attention. Rumors have been flying, I don't know fact from fiction anymore; the news are unstoppable. Words like, "twitter" and "cassette tapes" are being used in the same sentences-just to show the impact and longevity Michael Jackson has had on the world.
Here in Asia, the Philippine dancing inmates are once again a YouTube sensation. I read that in Japan, Michael Jackson had the most avid and passionate supporters. The Japanese will be in mourning for some time. Here in Singapore, many blogs have been dedicated to the pop icon and every shop and taxi are tuned in to stations dedicating commentary to Michael. In China, he is still gracing the front covers of major newspapers.
As the days unfold, more questions, some disturbing updates and endless hours of MJ music videos will continue to make headlines.
Hopefully we can remember to celebrate his life, his music and his contributions and not take everything else we hear to heart.
Rest in Peace Michael.
