This is it.

I watched Michael Jackson’s This is it yesterday.   When I was 13, a friend of mine lent me his then new album, Bad. I remember liking it but I had never become a fan. A year later or so I was listening to Def Leppard’s Hysteria, which was the very first heavy metal album I listened to. I had immediately became a metalhead and I rarely tried other genres of music for a very long time. (I remember later in college attending a folk music concern because of the girl I felt in love who singing in the chorus- well, love is another matter) . Still the movie/documentary is moving. I worship the efforts made for artful performances. If MJ did not die, he would certainly come back with glory… Rest in peace, Michael. [In the mean time, this reminded me Madonna’s I’m Going to Tell You a Secret which was a good performance, too]
