So, MJ has died.
Honestly, I'm sad. This is how I feel. I like his music to the extent someone born in 1988 can enjoy pop from that era and earlier.
His personal life became such a destructive force in the time that I was paying attention.
This stigmatized all of what I listened to, usually because of the current mantra "all great artists in popular culture must reinvent their ideas to remain known"
Or something like that.
Because of this I had always anticipated a profound comeback in his career.
The growth of electronic music in his lifetime really made me think he was aware of the tools and would learn to make new sounds and express new meanings through his music. It always seemed likely to happen.
Now that he's gone, I think we will all learn to respect his work from the eyes of a young, hard-working man.
This brings me to my major point. MJ will be remixed. All artists will take from his work in some capacity or another.
The studio's understand the value of this kind of collaboration.
So, hold on, because MJ's musical talent has just become the new big thing.

Remixing MJ is a big thing in the future...
