u know i watched it and yes i did shed a few tears. ok i lied i cried. i always liked mj. i remember back when i was a kid in the 80's and beat it came out. u know breaking was popular and all that stuff. well me and my cousins use to have a dance crew. lol i know it sounds funny but that was the thing back then. well we all saved up our allowances and got some parachute pants with the zippers and the zipper jacket. mine was all black. i wore them with my shell toed adidas. its was the ****. that is a very vivid memory for me growing up. i love his music and still listen to it now. no matter what the press has ever wrote about him that was wrong i was always able to look past it. i dont know why but his music made my soul always feel good as it does today. i think the worst part about him passing is that no one ever got to say good bye. he was a weird as hell but his music never changed even though his body was. i know i am one of many people that really can say that he did put a stamp on my life. i let my girls listen to him with the ipod when we are driving in the car and they love it,. my oldest didnt really know much about him but only knew his music. so when she heard he died she asked me y and i just told her that he isnt dead because because his music still lives on. im glad she doesnt know about his really off the wall past because she sees him at his purists form. his memorial brought back so many childhood memories that i have forgotten. i actually got a call from one of my cousins from the dance crew and we reminisced. good times i tell ya. well i would like to say no matter what u think of him judge him by his music and not his weird antics. michael we miss u RIP.
