The day the music died

For a long time after Luther Vandross died I couldn't listen to his music with feeling a great sense of loss. I wonder how long it will take for me to get over Michael Jackson's death.Last week i was blasting the History cd in my car cd player and now he will live on through his music.
If the suspected circumstances behind his death are true it is a sad indictment on the people around him who knew about his abuse of prescription drugs and did nothing.
Michael was very talented and very successful and in this scenario sometimes employees, family members and lackeys do not want to kill the goose that laid the golden egg by pointing out faults.
It was strange seeing all the tributes being paid to him when two years ago those same people were crucifying him in the court of public opinion.
