In Loving Memory of Michael Jackson.

Welcome to this very special episode of The Talk Cock Show with your very special host, Koh Li Xian. Tonight, I wish to dedicate this episode to one of the greatest human beings that has graced Earth. It all started out with little boy with a highly complexed childhood that consequently resulted in the unexpected rise to superstardom in the late 20th century. His musical talent has reached above and beyond the boundaries that any human has ever come close. Constant preaching of love, harmony, peace and the appreciation of music are symbols that define this man, yet his background and eccentric behaviour has somewhat tarnished his reputation unfortunately. It is indeed unfortunate for this man to leave this world with a scar left behind on his ravishing career just because he has an infatuation for feeling like a kid, something that he was sadly taken away from. 

Who is to judge a man's interest in cartoons, fantasies, playgrounds and candy floss just because he is an infamous icon? Yet his life has been jeopardized and misunderstood and more importantly, misjudged by the society for his aberrant behaviour.

As a kid, I have always been a strong supporter for him. Purchasing albums, merchandise and attending his concert in elementary school were vivid memories that are still fresh in my mind. More recently, I have conducted a research paper on his scandal in 2003, only to realized that 2 months later, this iconic figure is reported to have left the world. 

Despite his absence, the world will never forget the legacy he left behind that has rocked the world for the past three decades. Not only did he leave behind audio pleasures for the world, he has demonstrated the quintessential symbol of globalization, humanity and equality. There is no doubt his influence has brought the world closer together, putting aside socio-political differences to bring people of  all ethnicities, classes, backgrounds together via his songs on humanity. 

The Memories of You will forever be remembered.
