So he's really dead. This morning it was the first thing I saw - and seriously, I thought it was a big joke. People around the world have blogged on it, the news has been chock-a-block, and apparently google, wikipedia, twitter, and several other sites crashed because of the masses of people searching for him and twittering about him. Everyone's Facebook status proclaimed to me this morning that the King of Pop was dead.
Well, R.I.P. I did shed a tear or two, and every time I hear or read that Michael Jackson is dead, I get this little pang of sadness. Everyone's saying that Pop is dead, but only as Jackson defined it. Pop has been properly dead for a long time, really. It's just all so crap these days. xD
I find it ironic that days before his last tour "This Is It" starts, he dies. All the conspiracies flying around are untrue, obviously, but it's just so ironic still that the tour name... yes. What a way to go, pretty dramatic. I of course don't know what it was like when Elvis Presley died - is this a bigger even than that, or not?
And the other amazing thing were the amount of jokes that have sprung up xD. Also, it's saddening personally for me because I've grown up with his music always there. He's one of those people you expect to be around for ages, you never really think about when those kind of people will die. Aww... :c I'm sad.
In other news, Mighty Boosh are splitting up (apparently). What a day.
