I am a "new" fan of Michael Jackson, his music, especially live performances hit me like lightening few weeks ago. As a teenager I had heard some of his most famous like Bad, Beat It, Thriller, but he was just another American performer who sang very fast songs. I am at a really really low point in my life and couple of weeks back some of his songs popped up in my youtube stream. One thing led to another and I was pulled into Michael Jackson's world of music. I used to love to dance but had lost that. I started watching the live concert recordings and before I know it, started dancing again. It lifted my spirits, pulled me out of my deep dark hole. At the same time I learnt more about the person and his untimely death and that causes me lot of grief as if this was someone I knew and miss deeply. I used to spend many nights crying over the sadness in my life, and now I spend those nights watching the concert recordings, smiling, dancing and just feeling joy, interrupted by sadness over his death. Overall, I am grateful that I found this music when I really needed something to pull me out of the sadness that surrounded me. It may sound crazy, but listening to Michael Jackson's songs and watching the performances tells me there is nothing to be sad about, you can just spend our life singing and dancing.
