We are about the same age and the song/video that I remember growing up was the Black or White video. The whole face morphing sequence was the most amazing thing ever back then.
I felt indifferent to his life then and to the event of his death now. The reactions of the world are almost predictable.
I watch the news, read the blogs and everyone's reactions and I think I feel more guilty for not feeling anything but mild fascination at how everyone suddenly mourns a man they only paid attention too in the last fifteen years for his strange behavior and the chance for a new punchline for a joke.
