I was just about to watch a DVD of his when my sister texted me that The King of Pop died. I didn't believe her, so I put on the news... there it was "Michael Jackson dead at 50" WOW
WOW WOW My mouth dropped and the shock hit.
How can Michael Jackson die??? He was legendary already in life! He was immortal. He was magical. He was everything that any true performer wanted to be.... and he died?!
WOW
I just watched all the news that I could from 2ish until 8pm... I watched how they flew his body from the UCLA Medical Center to the Coroners office. Once I saw them carry out his body, I broke down. I couldn't contain my tears.
---------------------------------------------------
I woke up this morning thinking.... If Michael is dead.... he's the last great performer we had. Who will be our generation's icon? Beyonce?! (don't get it twisted, I love Beyonce.... but seriously)
MUSICIANS OUT THERE!!!! READ MY WORDS!!!! STRIVE FOR MORE THAN WHATS ON THE RADIO!!!! LOOK INTO YOURSELF AND PUT YOURSELF ON AN ALBUM!!!!! PUT REAL MUSIC OUT THERE!!!! Not a song about "Birthday Sex"
PLEASE! Strive for more just like Michael did. He grabbed from the best... James Brown, Diana Ross, etc and put on a show that made KISS look like a small picnic... He invented a new dance! Not the "Stanky leg" The MOONWALK.... with class, grace, dignity.....
You can go anywhere in the world and you might not know how to say HI in their native language... but you said Michael Jackson and they would nod in comprehension.
This is our generation's Elvis.
Such a huMONGOUS loss.
In his honor, we will not be working on any music.
We'll keep you posted of course.......
QUESTION: Where were you when Michael Jackson died?
Stay positive....
