___musings

Michael Jackson = Elvis Presley

- I realised today that MJ is going to be to my kids what Elvis was to me. My mum had scrapbooks and records and fond memories that she shared with me. I like his music, but (esp when i was younger) he was just a guy who made good music, was famous, then died. When I have children, MJ will be that guy. THAT'S WEIRD! So much change in this world, in all aspects. It's strangeeee.

I hate all the jokes that are circulating about him. The guy isn't even in the ground yet, you know? My personal theory is that he was kind of a real life Peter Pan. I don't think the guy was crazy, i just think he never got old. He put his own name in all his kid's names, he wrote songs in a tree, called his estate Nevereverland, collected pretty things, shared his baby with the world by holding him up on a balcony.. those aren't the actions of a man, they're the actions of a 13 year old. I seriously think he just never grew up - that his mind was always young and naive and joyful as his body aged. That's just the vibe I get.

* stupid freaking public transport. I get fines when i drive and fines when i catch the tram. i. can't. freaking. win.
