Silver Memories of Michael Jackson

The King of Pop is dead. For the longest time, people have forgotten that he's already 50 years old. Some people think he's going to live forever. After all, he has defied, no, he had defied many things. On June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson was pronounced dead, the cause, yet unknown. Here, we shall not mourn him but celebrate him or more precisely, celebrate everything silver about him.

In his lifetime, Michael Jackson was a man of peculiar style. If the world is indeed a stage, then, his stage is a magical playground. A consummate showman of extraordinary imagination, Michael inspired the world in unprecedented fashion. In the 80s, young people from New Delhi to Berlin were known to sport his famous silver glove of sequins which he wore in his landmark "Billie Jean" video. Of course, he matched it with silver socks as well. Whenever he appeared with the silver glove on stage, his fans would erupt into a higher level of frenzy.

For some reason, Michael was fascinated with silver. His signature "Beat It" red leather jacket is accentuated by silver mesh patches on the shoulders. WIthout the silver parts, it would just be just another red leather jacket, which is nothing special. The "Beat It" jacket was possibly the most famous apparel in those days. Other than that, Michael had been known to wear silver belts, silver chains, silver jewelry, and other silver accessories. His wax figure unveiled in 1985 at Madame Tussauds in London shows him in a glittering silver jacket. Somehow, silver looks good on Michael, and one suspects, he knew it too.

Just about a year ago, the world celebrated the silver anniversary of the Thriller album. Today, it's still the biggest selling record of all time. Selling over 100 million copies around the world, Thriller went on to sweep a record-breaking 8 Grammy Awards in 1984. It contained such legendary songs like "Beat It," "Billie Jean," and "The Girl Is Mine," spawning those epic music videos you probably have seen for the hundred and eleventh time on MTV. Surely, these few times that you will be seeing Michael moonwalking and doing his stuff will not bring enough nostalgia. RIP, Michael.
