Fare ye well Moonwalker

I wont say I grew up listening to MJ but surely 'Off the Wall' was the first 'cassette' I purchased with 'my own' pocket money, collected over months.
I remember 1996 the year, MJ visited Mumbai and MTV went crazy; it aired MJs songs almost everyday for long hours and repeated the episode at least thrice the same day. I, ofcourse watched it all three times. Black or White, Dont care about us and Thriller, my-oh-my... He was a hot favorite even in high school, kids trying to mimic his steps, specially the moon walk, swooning at guys who could actually shake it like MJ... :)
And then... I grew up... Last I heard, he was a recluse with millions of dollars of rising debt, 2 pending court cases and the Neverland ranch on sale. Invincible did not quite stand true to its name.
But man, was he the dude. No matter what the controversies, the drama around his life, he IS and will always remain the irreplaceable and very unchallenged King of the Pop. The guy who changed pop for ever, who rose to such heights that we called him King, and if you have seen video recordings of his live shows, you will know what I am talking about, packed venues, people screaming, girls fainting...
Hope we will be less cruel to him in death... and remember him for his art and his music. May he rest in peace...
