When I was in the 5th std, I remember I badly wanted a walkman, it dint matter that I hardly listened to music but all my friends had it n it was the coolest thing at the time to own( pls remember this is the age before MP3s n Ipods).. so I kept dropping hints to my parents bout wanting it for my upcoming bday n the response I got was.. Ashley- u don’t listen to music.. What will u do wit a walkman?
So determined me decided to watch MTV for some time n start taking an interest or rather, at least show that I have an interest in music… Mtv had just come out n the weird songs which my older cousins used to hear used to make me wonder if I d be able to continue watching it for atleast 15 min without switching to something more interesting like cartoon network ;)
And the song playing at the time was MJ s ‘Remember the time’.. I was just glued watching this guy do his moves n I was so fascinated seeing the video.. all the Egyptian palaces n the beautiful queen ..n this guy just vaporizing after dancing…..and that ppl, was the first song I remember listening to n actually liking….of course than gradually I did start liking music.. But this song sticks on in my memory …
N now he s gone.. No matter what all whacko things he did do, the fact remains that his death has shaken us all up at least a bit( even if we dnt admit it).. he was a true pop icon.. n we ll always remember him. ..his music will surely live on …. May he rest in peace….
