It was 1984. The tv had been showing repeats of Michael Jackson's video clip "Beat It". I was tuned in to the beats and the lingo that this black man was delivering. He was carefree, young and enjoyed dancing his moves from one spot to the other. I saw him flipping his hat, doing his moonwalk and standing on his toes. His high pitch notes sometimes gave me a cringe. But I enjoyed his youth and his presense. He was famous and he made all the girls screaming for his names.I was at a very tender age of fourteen when Michael Jackson had a hit with his "Beat It" song. I remember coming back from school and seeing his videos on the tv back to back. His persona and presense had captured many hearts and at that time, he was the King of Pop. After "Beat It" he made more albums and songs and had won multiple grammy awards. His albums have been sold millions all over the world.
But as time goes by, Michael seems to lose his powerful impact. I do not know what had happened in his life, but it seems he has been 'lost' somewhere over the years and has become a very secluded man. He has changed his appearance too many times and his jovial, smiling face has turned into a sad and sluggish tired face. Too much plastic surgery has made him looked more sad looking.

I do not know how he can turn his dark skin fairer. Too many theories have been put into an argument and less is known anyway how he did that. Maybe the technology and money can make him do all the impossibles. Hmmm...this is what people with lots of money do. They spend it on unnesessary things where people like us calculate every single penny in our wallet.

Anyway, he is still a human being, and believe it or not it has been 24 years since his "Beat It" years. And he is now a 50 year old man. He recently celebrated his 50th birthday and goodness...how time flies very fast! It seems like yesterday that I saw this man dancing and moonwalking and making us all smile with his moves.

I wish him a very happy birthday and many happy returns!
