Andrew's+Celebrity+Inspiration

Michael Jackson By Andrew Perucho //(Please note that this was written immediately after Michael's Death. We thought it would be fitting to share this with you all as it is pure emotion...The complexity of Michael just goes to show that there are so many ways to be inspired by someone, take what you will from them but they are important to us all).//

I’m going to rant, and if it doesnt make any sense.. so be it, but I felt like I needed to get this off my chest. Today, or yesterday if you want to be politically correct was the day when Michael Jackson died. One of the true music legends who revolutionized and inspired the world was taken away at a young (but not so young) age of 50 years old. Think what you want to think about Michael - you may hate him because you think he’s ‘weird’. You can poke fun at the rape allegations or his disfigured face but honestly what for? Do you honestly feel that much superior to the guy that you have to bring him down because he has ‘issues’ with himself? Is telling MJ jokes to your friends the cool thing to do now? I just don’t understand why people have to be so judgemental towards him. How do you think that made him feel when people who used to be his fans turned against him as he went through trials in his life? The media completely bashed his every move and created an aura of hate around him that was so completely unecessary and vile.

How are you going to do that to a guy who has obvious problems? And now that he passes away so suddenly these same media outlets and these same haters come out of the woodworks to do a complete 180 and give out their support to him and his family. I’m sure he would’ve loved that support BEFORE he passed away .. just a thought. I mean Michael has such a pure heart that people automatically raise a red flag when they feel that something is ‘off’. How are you going to roast a guy who basically gave up his childhood but singlehandedly contributed to everyone elses? He never learned proper social behavoir because of this and thats why he might act weird some if not most of the time.. man was just misunderstood straight up. Oh, he has a ranch and invites children to come over to play in it. WEIRDO. Oh, he has surgery for skin grafts on his face. ‘WEIRDO’. Oh, he dangled his baby for all the media to see. WEIRDO. It’s so unecessary and blown up that it just pissed me off..leave the poor guy alone. How the hell are you going to exploit an emotionally unstable man who couldnt defend himself and was already seen as a weirdo. And people bought into the medias lies and bullshit. It's just ridiculous.

I just hope that before he passed away.. in the back of his mind.. he knew that everyone was behind him. That they understood what he was going through. That people fully realized he was not this ‘wacko-jacko’ that the media portrayed him to be. I hope he rested easy with the full knowledge and conviction and without a single doubt in his body that people never actually believed the media’s bullshit because really, that would be a downright shame. And he even said it himself how his upcoming concert (which sold out in mins. time) was all about winning back his old fans who reverted and its horrible that these concerts will never see the light of day. The media took everything from him but they can never take away how he changed music and the face of the world.

You know, as I listen to his songs while I write this.. they’ve become that much more powerful.. and it’s weird and I don’t think its hit home that he’s finally gone.. but when that moment comes.. I don’t think I’ll be ready for it. RIP Michael Joseph Jackson.
