MJ Overload

IF there were such a term as 'MJ Overload,' then it's the one I am sick of right now. TV shows, local and national news, radio programs, website pages, office chatters, car stereos, music videos and any other gadget out there have all talked about, played, showed, and even glorified anything MJ related. It's not that I want to consciously differ from the fad because I myself agrees to the fact that he's had flashes of greatness here and there that deserve respect and admiration. Maybe what really bugs me is the over-adulation from some avid sectors reaching near hysteria proportion. For me, the Man in The Mirror was undeniably great as a dancer, writer of some of the influential and era-defining songs of the '80s, was instrumental in getting the USA for Africa project off the ground, and was responsible for breaking new grounds in the world of MTV. Other than that, he was just another piece of the puzzle, like everyone else, in this great world we all live in.

I thank him for his contributions to mankind in general. I hope we can all pick and learn from where he left off.

He will be missed for sure.

But let's just stop right there.
