A famous popstar died today. I will first admit I liked his music. I will also say absolutely nothing about his death gives me pleasure, humor, or finds me glad or happier in anyway. However I am greatly disturbed by the reaction of the media and many people in our country.
I guess what bugs me the attention that so many people give to the popstar who was a known drug addict, anorexic, and spent thousands if not millions of dollars changing his outer looks with numerous surgeries. This in juxtaposition to children who die in the thousands everyday because they do not have food. They starve.
I'm just not sure how to feel but I know the attention one gets over the other makes me sick and sad.

I truly think anybody might agree with the publicity showing to much about ones personal life and maybe not giving the right people the proper grieving room... although as for all that feelings you tend to form towards people.. lol.... This is how you feel about it.. You look at the good he did, leave the wrongs to him and god... and lol? he gave... and gave and gave... what he did with him self is his business..? lol? although whatever, it is what it is... but good lord Jeff...
ReplyDeleteit's super weird isn't it? i felt the same way - like "why is the world in a state of mourning and worship over this whacked out mentally disturbed guy?" i liked his music too, but the time, energy and money spent on all those tributes could have been better invested!!
