Tribute: Childhood Hero

Black or White.

I remember watching this video a million times when I was a kid. Especially the part where
Macaulay Culkin blew his dad off the roof, which blew my mind over and over again. I would rewind like 121029310 times just to see that particular part. I think that's why we got new VCR players every few months wtf. (i was still a kid hello???! a cute one wtf.)

Every kids talent show, every comedy night, and every church family night event I went, there it was. There were always at least 2 or more contestants doing the MJ impersonation. And everyone would go nuts for it. Imagine that. People were ecstatic just by looking at fake MJ impersonations. Needless to say, when normal homosapiens witness the presence of the real king of pop, they faint. Over and over again wtf. As a kid, I was damn baffled when some random women would run to the stage, threw themselves at MJ like some famished beast, and pengsan after that wtf. (My dad was a huge MJ fan and there were never ending MJ concert videos to watch when I grew up.) It's like they died and went to heaven.

At that time, my family were definitely normal homosapiens. Every morning I'll have the comfort of waking up to MJ's album cd playing on the record player. Every car ride there's always me and my bro singing to MJ's songs (where we would always do the "AO!" in unison wtf). Everyday we would impersonate the moonwalk and fail miserably, laugh at each other and have a big fist fight after that wtf. Everywhere were MJ posters plastered in our room, where we put on our sunglasses and our fake black cowboy hats wtf and convince ourselves that we were the king of pop himself.

There were just too many awesome memories of MJ in our lives. His music playing in our heads, for every significant MJ memory. Although he is gone now, I believe that the way he mesmerizes, the unbelievable charisma and stage presence, the notorious crotch grab (AO!) , the super sleek dance moves, the huge inspiration and exceptional talent, will live on forever. He will forever be my greatest childhood hero.



RIP MJ.
