Michael Jackson, The Follower of his dreams.....

He was born in Gary, Indiana 50 years ago. Together he formed the famous all boy group, Jackson 5 that titillated girls all over the globe.He was famous for his boyish charm and cute looks. A millionaire at the age of 12, he grew into a man too early in his life and spent the rest of his life clinging on to his hastily cast-aside childhood. He was thrust into the limelight early on in life and he embraced it with grace and elegance. He was constantly under the scrutiny of media and fans; so much so that he became a recluse. He retreated to Neverland, the theme park he called home; then his world turned ugly in the blink of an eye.
Allegations of sexual abuse, an unfortunate smudge on his reputation; this did not deter his fans an iota, though I can imagine he was shaken to the core.
He followed his musical dreams, moved to Qatar and continued living in pursuit of his own personal legend and at the time of his death, was preparing for a world tour.
This is my tribute to Michael Jackson the man, the legend and a symbol of perserverance and excellence. He has inspired many others to follow their musical dreams and the rest of the world got the opportunity to enjoy music on a whole other level. God bless the Jackson family and give them comfort at this time. God took you and may He keep you till we all meet again. You remain a symbol of stellar elegance and the love you had for humanity shines through in yur music. Peace and love to you all
