Friday, July 12, 2002 KING OF POOPeverytime a “journalist” writes about michael jackson, they describe him as “the self-proclaimed king of pop”. they never refer to muhammad ali as “the self-proclaimed greatest of all time” or james brown as “the self-proclaimed godfather of soul”, because there is no doubt that ali is, in fact, “the greatest” and that j.b. is definitely “the godfather”. now, is there anyone else in the universe who can claim to be “the king of pop” and get away with it ? no, michael jackson is the only artist who can sit on that throne. so why do “self-proclaimed journalist” do that ? i can only guess that they have an ax to grind or they’re just mad that they didn’t get to dub him “the king” themselves. maybe it’s just indicative of how our culture builds people up just to tear them down (not that m.j.j. needed any help being torn down). over the years we’ve all witnessed michael lose alot of things ...i.e. respect, integrity, cartilage, pigment, but it will be quite a long time before someone else can claim to be “the king of pop”. long live the king ! . | Permalink 2009 RuCo, Inc.—All Rights Reserved |
