Then there was my friend Brinda, who showed off her singing skills in elocution class and on every other occasion by reproducing her version of 'Heal The World' (she did go off scale at one particular point every time, but that was what we most enjoyed as it seemed to be the USP of her rendition)...<br /><br />And then there was Ma, who deemed English music newfangled nonsense ('the death of culture', she termed it) and caused me an entire week of extreme misery (I was in Class VI then) by tearing up into irretrievable bits a full length poster of the only star in my musical universe at that phase of my life...<br /><br />You are so sadly right. He's taken away a large, sensuous 'chunk of my childhood' with him. And things will never be the same.<br /><br />And I detest the media (American, at least) for paying obeisance to him by digging up all the dirt that(n)ever clung to his past.

This is Sourik. I am a poet.
Just...Hello Bedatri,<br /><br />This is Sourik. I am a poet. <br />Just visited your blog and found this piece of yours really interesting bringing back seductive memories of the 'Man in the Mirror' in my mind. I do loved him a lot, the pain who endured a lot of pains , fought against the disease vitiligo only for the sake of music. He is not dead. He will always remain alive in all of our minds, as the evergreen MJ as always, although i do miss him a lot at times...:( :(<br /><br />Do drop by my blog , my fellow blogger, because someone would be eagerly waiting on the other side expecting your response...:) :)<br /><br />Cheers!<br />Souriksourik_poetsparadisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03942748914941567016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702927434455018993.post-17951121258396668872009-06-29T11:39:57.097+05:302009-06-29T11:39:57.097+05:30sigh... i still have an old mj poster kept away in...sigh... i still have an old mj poster kept away in a drawer.. sigh..loony girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299147906926081257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702927434455018993.post-25399296420018924362009-06-29T09:12:06.259+05:302009-06-29T09:12:06.259+05:30I really REALLY like this post.

Partly because you have captured my thoughts perfectly, and partly because you seem to have said everything I wanted to, but I just couldn't bring myself to blog about it. Losing MJ is like losing a part of our childhood - we all grew up with him, and whether or not we liked his music, whether or not we liked his dancing - it was impossible to ignore him.<br />No one can deny what he did for the music industry, and songs like Thriller, Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal (to name just a few) will be around for a long, long time.<br />RIP MJ.Magically Boredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689084060646607534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702927434455018993.post-91938142473556399112009-06-28T23:14:58.027+05:302009-06-28T23:14:58.027+05:30a lovely elegy for him...comes straight from the h...a lovely elegy for him...comes straight from the heart :) loved how u ended it!sujaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944785835548171381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702927434455018993.post-49708612146610921762009-06-28T16:27:07.560+05:302009-06-28T16:27:07.560+05:30yes,and so will the smooth criminal :(yes,and so will the smooth criminal :(~Moo-lah Buz!nezzz~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08569071302779749471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702927434455018993.post-80262858824357055052009-06-27T01:07:39.501+05:302009-06-27T01:07:39.501+05:30Lovely piece.

I use to hum beat it everyday. <br />Your piece brought back a lot of crazy memories ...back in the days when I grew up alone...never went out to play with friends. Didn't know how to play the guitar nor did I want to. Had brought a book on MJ from Chennai( class 4 school trip) for my mum. She still has it. Still wonder why an MJ book from chennai for my mom...lolz. That book has a photograph of MJ wearing a belt with a small guitar in place of the buckles. I always wanted to wear a belt like that. <br />Billie Jean will live forever!Neelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07142918619777171516noreply@blogger.com
