Heard the passing away news when driving home, reminding me of “Gone too soon” like a comet.
Another example of eccentrical talent.
As the very begining impressions of US almost exclusively built upon 2 Ms, the pop king came to be known at early 1990′ when I was just about to enter university. 50s belong to Elvis, 60s the Beetles, and 80s Michael Jackson. My close friend gave me a cassette having his “black & white” within ushering my following years’s interests in western pop. Before that it was the MTV “bad” letting me know what is MTV. 1990s are also the booming time for music radio program in china. Billboard became the focus. Then came the “heal the world”, a sequal to “we are the world”. Later on I saw a sketch drawn by him, a kid huddling up in a corner. That’s it. it well depicted his inside and why he felt the conflit so much for “the world”.
