Jeff Koons, Michael Jackson and Bubbles, 1998

Today was a sad day. Not only did one of Charlie’s Angels, Farrah Fawcett die, but so did Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. I don’t know why, but I’ve always sympathized with MJ. I guess because his life was so tragic, all whilst being so completely legendary. He changed the face of music, and has and will continue to influence music, for generations to come. Even though he definitely had his dark days, I always felt like he was such a tender and fragile soul.

I also finally finished a relatively decent first live mixtape today. This was all unrelated to the events that happened today, but right as I finished, I got a text from my friend saying MJ had died. Though this wasn’t recorded with this intention, I sort of hope it can be an ode to MJ in some way. Strangely enough, I have a Jackson 5/Mike Simonetti edit on it. Rest in peace, Michael, you are cherished and missed!
