Farewell Friday



I know that everyone is talking about Michael Jackson and his death. Who am I to not do so as well? Especially since my heart is broken.

In my defense, I am a lifelong fan of the King of Pop. I was the President of the Michael Jackson fan club for a year. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY FANS MJ has (had)? A shit ton, let me tell you.

I had the privelege of seeing him in concert. Once as the black MJ. WOW out loud. That man could move.

I used to want to live at Neverland. I mean come on, what kid didn't? NO KID JOKES EITHER. I don't want to hear them.

Regardless of how people may feel about him today, they cannot take away his talent. He was an extraordinary entertainer. His music spans decades, continents and can bring together a room full of strangers with a little Billie Jean or PYT.

His music will never leave us. His legend will go on for eternity. The man may not be as missed now as he might have once been but the music world is a better place for having had him in it. Thanks to him, we have so many other amazing entertainers and music to listen to.

May he finally rest in peace and be rid of his life long demons. Thank whoever for giving us MJ for the time we had him.

The way I remember him:

When my nephew was like 3 he would wet his hair, drop a lock of it on his forehead and then sing and dance around "being Michael". So cute....

Awesome post! I remember him that way too! One of our local radio stations have been playing his music ALL day. When I was getting ready for work this morning, they played all 5.5 minutes of Thriller. And yes, I stopped what I was doing and I did the Thriller dance! Can't believe I remember it all! LOL I love Michael!!!!!
