Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009)
CNN 30 June 2009
Michael Jackson was one of the most successful recording artists of all time.
He was twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 1
3 of his songs hit No. 1 and he won 13 Grammy Awards.
He was lauded and ridiculed. He broke down barriers and built them around himself. He soared to heights unimaginable with his music, and he made the ignominious front page of gutter tabloids worldwide. For Michael Jackson, the spotlight was always present, and the rest of the world followed. From the time he was a child, it was obvious Michael Jackson was something special. He and his brothers shot to stardom as the Jackson 5 in the 1970s. But it was in the 1980s, when Jackson became a worldwide phenomenon, that his impact really began to be felt. Pop music went into a Jackson era. From the elegant ballads to the down-and-dirty grooves and ecstatic dance hits, he dominated the music world. "Billie Jean," "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin,'" "Bad," "Man in the Mirror," "Beat It," "P.Y.T." His album "Thriller" had nine songs; seven of them became hit singles. He became much imitated, from his hair to his clothes to his dance moves. Jackson was also a fashion icon, his heavily zippered leather jackets a de rigueur 1980s fashion accessory, his single, spangled glove beyond compare. Then rumors began, from his pets to his sleeping habits to his cosmetic surgery. Add to that child-abuse allegations and financial troubles, all fodder for the press. He was treated as a traveling circus. But he kept many fans. His death at age 50 prompted many of them to pour out their grief through music and dance, impromptu shrines at symbolic locations and heartfelt remembrances. "This is a very sad day," sobbed CNN iReporter Melissa Fazli. A fan outside Grauman's Chinese Theater in California called Jackson an innovator. "He's basically an icon in his own time -- legendary ... I'm still mourning, and at the same time missing him. It's a little bit much to bear."

HAPPY DAYS
The carefree childhood of yesteryear may well be a thing of the past
BY CAROL LEI
FREEDOM, a rare commodity these days, is gradually being robbed from us in the most subtle ways. In an ironic twist of modernisation, we have more dangers and diseases to contend with. I cannot help but make comparisons with the days of yesteryear.
My schooldays were reminiscent of priceless freedom when I cycled to my hockey games with a hockey stick balanced across the handlebars of my bicycle. My parents never had to worry about insane drivers or about their precious daughter being kidnapped.
Schoolgirls back then had sun-kissed complexion and never worried about UV rays while indulging in a game of rounders until the moon peeped over the sunset. The only Sun Tan we knew was a character in a comic strip.
We quenched our thirst between games at the tap nearest to our field or court, and drank straight from it. Fluoride was good for our teeth then. We never heard of reverse osmosis or mineral water.
We happily sucked on shaved ice shaped into balls with generous dollops of syrup, as we tossed them from one palm to another and walked 3km home from school. Ice was ice, and not some designer drug.
