Michael Jackson Dead at Age 50

As the paramedics were called to Michael Jackson's estate Thursday, just around 12 p.m., no one predicted that history in the world of music was just about to be made. One of America's most successful music icons was going to be dead, leaving this world not just an idea of music and dancing, but leaving this world changed. Mr. Jackson started a revolution that would bring up hundreds of other musicians and the rest of the world into a genre of changing ideas.

Toward the end of his life, Mr. Jackson would once again step up to plate and rehearse for a 50-show performance in London, possibly on trying to maintain his reputation of being one of the best performers this world has ever seen.
His legacy was often overshadowed by the medias jokes on his eccentric lifestyle, as well as the fact that he was leaning towards bankruptcy. The critics alone often took pot shots over the allegations of his child molestation charges, his many plastic surgeries, and accounts of his child-bearing ways. They never seen him the way he really was; an outstanding performer and a great dad.

Mr. Jackson had rumors speculating that he was on the borderline of abusing pain medication because of past injuries, resulting in his death. An autopsy has been performed, but has yet to be conclusive. They believed he suffered a cardiac arrest before his death. Reports were conclusive that he died get an injection of Demerol before he suffered his alleged heart attack.

What I personally hope in the near future is that we don't see Mr. Jackson as what the media might drum up next. Society from the world over should look at Mr. Jackson as nothing other than a man who came from humble beginning and overcame the music Industry; one of the few people in history to not only take a style of music and make it acceptable, but to see that Michael Jackson was a gift of talent who won the hearts of everyone who has been entertained from this man who will now become legend.
