I'm sure Justin will cringe when he reads this blog, however I am a child of the 80's and how could I not pay homage to the King of Pop!?!?
I remember being a small child - 4 or 5 years old and staying up VERY late to watch Friday Night Videos. I remember watching the Thriller video and being scared out of my mind!! As I adjusted to the terror in the video I was mesmerized by the dance moves, his voice, and the totality of the video. I remember watching him moonwalk. I remember the "We are the world (....we are the children...we are the ones to make a brighter day...)" song, I remember his Super Bowl performance, which was the greatest Super Bowl performance of ALL times, I remember his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley, and his now come back plans. I do know many of the lyrics to his songs, and can vividly describe the accompanying videos to you. I was very much looking forward to his comeback and to see him do his thing again!!

Throughout the years Michael Jackson has undergone a great amount of scrutiny and some will call him what they will, but to me he will always be the talented artist that created a love for music and all its possibilities. It is amazing how someone so tortured and tormented could create such wonderful art and beauty.....
The world will not know another musician like Michael Jackson......his talent, passion, creativity, and relevance will be missed.
