This opinion editorial was different than most I had read. Firstly, the author seemed to have very little, if any, purpose for writing this editorial. Also, the article truly intrigued me. He described how the legend lived on after the death of superstar Elvis Presley and how he believes Michael Jackson will similarly follow in his footsteps. The author also went on to describe how ironically they are related by marriage; Lisa Marie Presley married Michael Jackson uniting the two legendary men.
I believe the author may have wanted to compare and contrast the two legend's deaths. They are, and will be, very similar characters in history. Although they came from two very different musical and ethnic backgrounds, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley will be legends in the music and entertainment industry for a very long time. After his death, Elvis's manager was quoted saying, it's not the end. Likewise, Michael Jackson left over 200 tracks left unpublished. Even though Michael was a legend, he still has some very large shoes to fill if he is going to upstage Elvis.
