The King of POP is dead.
There is something in Michael that strikes the chord with the strands of the DNA of our generation..I think there is no denying that. However complicated a person he was, there is something in his music which was thrilling even to the ears of God.
All his struggle with life boils down to his unsuccessful search for his own identity. I think this was the hallmark of creative individuals of our generation. May be, still is. We stood at the threshold of a crtical mass transfromation in the generational shift of entropy from one energy state to another. Herenow we still are. One towards the left where some of us lost the battle and and got confused and still struggling to cope with this trauma. I think Michael belongs to this side.
Then one towards the right. Some of us who begin to collect ourselves together and begin to win the battle by letting ourselves go deeper into the mysteries of our own identity and gradually and subtly coming to terms with it.
There is a large mass of people in our generation and every generation who simply gets left out in the dark alleys of unconsciousness..

I respect Michael for the courage he has shown to himself for his struggle of identity even though he lost the battle in this lifetime.

May be Madonna will set a different example!!
watch out.
