It’s not easy to break millions of hearts across hundreds of countries.
Then again, it never was easy to be Michael Jackson. With the King
of Pop finally resting, the mourning period goes on. It’ll never be the
same for the ardent music enthusiast or the indifferent cynic. Music,
as many of us know it, has changed. What remains intact is the eter-
nal fascination for the tortured and complicated, yet simple soul of
a wasted genius. Stunned silence has now given way to gushing out-
pours of emotion and we’ve opened our floodgates too. As a legend’s
life ends, we keep the spirit alive.
This issue is groundbreaking for our team in so many ways. We’ve ex-
panded our frontiers and pages. The Score will now be available in
three more cities - Cochin, Bangalore and Hyderabad, apart from our
homeground, Chennai. I will be a practitioner of the art of brevity here
and let our pages do all the talking. You’ll find we have a lot more to
say this time - about every kind of musician, every genre of music.
Catering to four states will not be an easy job, but we’ve never shied
away from trying! Cochin, Bangalore and Hyderabad - we hope you’ll
send as much love our way as Chennai did!
Our team now spans two continents and works on two entirely differ-
ent time zones with my move to the United States for higher studies.
There will be long distance yells and a lot more online meetings, but
we go on!
