Michael Jackson
I remember seeing music videos of Michael Jackson on MTV as a child, and I thought his music was really great, and it always lifted me to a better mood. He was surely something that made my childhood awesome. I remember the first shoes that I bought myself were a pair of Converse All Stars, just because I had seen these shoes so many times in his music videos and other 80's music videos, so thought they were really cool. Ironically these became popular again right after I bought them. I always did love his songs "Thriller" and "Beat it", these were my favorite songs, and hearing the song "Beat it" in the second Back To The Future movie also gave me an awesome feeling every time. His talented dancing and singing was unique and always brought a smile to my face, especially when he did his famous moonwalk. Unfortunately this great artist passed away because of a cardiac arrest, and the reason why it didn't affect me that much at first was because I just couldn't believe he was gone, but later when it started get to me, I really started to appreciate his great music and even had a great time listening to it while riding my bicycle all over town half a day until midnight. I will always remember him as the awesome artist he was and do not believe any of the bad things he has been accused of before. Even as I wrote this, I was listening to his music videos on the Internet. Hopefully I will get more of his music soon, so far every single fan of his seem to have gone extra crazy after getting a hold of his music, but this is only great that he will be remembered by all his fans that now own more of his great music than they ever did.
