    There aren't many of those influential artists left. And there won't be another one like him for a long time - chances are I won't see them in my lifetime.

  5. My blog, about the awful loss.

    'Artistic call to arms.'

    It just came from nowhere, the legendary King of Pop was gone the maker of Thriller, Bad and Dangerous. The man who made the world such a better place for children in war-torn and developing countries, and a centrepiece of so many of our childhoods and happy memories was lost to us.

    Whilst i have completed most of my mourning and turned to celebrating the amazing life of Michael Jackson it is inescapable that another one of our greats has been lost.

    ...and who is replacing them.

    Granted Michael Jackson is irreplacable but the music industry has handpicked, it seems, his replacements someone to fill what is now a 'Gap in the market'.

    As the greats fall, who stands in their place.

    For every Paul Newman, Michael Crichton and Michael Jackson we lose
    we are given:-

    Ashton Kutcher
    Stephanie Myers
    (so much shit i can't be bother counting)

    Are we really supposed to be content with this, are we really doomed and destined to be the generation
    that watched the passing of the greats only to console ourselves or numb ourselves with 'The Hills' and 'Tila Tequila'.

    Maybe you think those things are fun, and maybe they are i'm not one to say.
    But they mean absolutely nothing. In place of meaning they use vulgarity of one form or another as a purpose.

    Michael Jackson was Raucous fun, and yet had inspirational meaning you could not buy or replicate in the heart of millions.

    So many of us dare to call ourselves artists, and now the artistic world is in its most fragile state for years.

    If Michael's death can motivate us in any artistic fashion let it be what he would want it to be, making the world a better place and giving of our souls to our art.

    Or we can stay here in the sinkhole ready for the pipes then the sewer.

    I say, let us now come together in his spirit and try to make this world a better place with every drop of wide-eyed enthusiasm we have left, and if you doubt what wide eyed enthusiasm can do you should switch on your Television.

    It's a real shame, and it questions whether people actually cared about his music or not when he was alive.

    I know I got mine many years ago, and I won't be selling those anytime soon...going by the stores here, everything is going to be hard to find. Just last week I could walk into any record store, pick up a copy of Dangerous or Thriller for next to nothing and now...you'll be lucky to find a generic DVD or the Essentials.Some stores have reported an increase of 7000 per cent plus on daily sales.

    Seven thousand per cent.

    The US Congress paused for a minute on Thursday evening, too. That doesn't happen often, if ever.

    here in holland it was a sell out, friday afternoon there was nothing to get...

    wow the congress holding a pause is real special!

    but i dont know if michael would care about wether people buy his record after his death or not, i think he would be happy to hear that his album sales doubled/tripled, altough i do not know the reason of the people to buy it, some for good reasons some not.

    but after 30 years people still buying elvis records and i think people would buy in 30 year MJ albums, its all the same with famous and great artists, he was the kind of elvis of the next generation.

    i think / know that there will be never another MJ ever....
    and that's a good thing.
