It's all about the music

I initially started writing this blog sharing different situations in my life that included a Michael Jackson song. After my first draft I realize how unoriginal it was as well as kinda boring. So I decided to take a different spin on things.

Like most the world, I've spent the last two days listening to Jackson classics and watching some of the most amazing videos every made.

I have always liked these songs but now with MJs death I find myself really dissecting the songs lyrically and musically. Many of them are simply perfection. They are inspired.

Listening to these songs has made me hungry to hear great music so I've proceeded to listen to classics by Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire and even a modern day God-sent Jill Scott.

I find myself asking, what happened to good music and why are we constantly bombarded by such garbage on a daily basis. R&B use to be an amazing art form, now it's complete and utter trash.

How can people call themselves artist and put out such noise. And why is there an audience for madness?

Michael Jackson's music will live on long after his passing. And so will the songs of Motown, Earth Wind and Fire, Jill Scott and a few other amazing performers. Yet the masses and the radio airwaves will continue to bombard us with Blame in on the Alcohol and Soulja Boy.

Twenty, thirty, forty years from now we will not be celebrating Bootylicious but Dancing Machine, ABC and Man in the Mirror will live on.
