The Man, the Madness, the Maverick, the Magic, the Music, the Moves..... Michael for me is more than a singer and dancer. He is an entertainer and a Superstar at that..
It was a pretty sad way to start my day with the news of Jacko's demise reaching me the moment I entered the office and signed in the register. Wife called in to give me this news and the thoughts of yester years started coming back to me. Michael is the inspiration for me to get interested in dance and music.
I started listening to Michael when I was in my 10th std and we had to perform for the school day function. I was not into dance and music, but my only interest was in theatre, wherein I was not able to get any role. I really did want to participate in the school day functions and the only other option that I could find was the dance group. I went to audition for the dance group and the choreographer was a junior to me in school, which surprised me. Well, to cut the long story short, I got in to the group and was in the last lane of the group, so that the other 9 - 10 dancers in front, could block me from the eyes of the audience :)
That was when I first listened to Michael, as we were trying to dance to Thriller song. Though we selected another song from a different group, I never could forget Michael or his songs and dance. The craze that started off then, led me to 1 National level dance award and another - Best Dancing group and choreographer for Aptech, KArnataka
I have a collection of most of his songs, lyrics which I have handwritten and taken from several magzines, photos of his, etc to keep his memories alive. I have been a great fan of him and would continue to be, throughout....
RIP Michael and let his memories and performances live for ever in our hearts.....
