Michael Jackson

Yes, I know. I'm writing a blog about Michael Jackson, weird. And yes, I know, he got real strange in the last several years. But you have to understand. I grew up with him. Thriller was the first record I ever owned. I remember listening to it while having the record case with that fold out of him in the white suit w/the tiger propped up where I could look at it. He was the bomb back then. Yes I said the bomb. So cute back then. I'm sad. I read on wonderwall that Carson Daly said on Twitter he feels weird. Yes, weird, that's a good way to describe it. My sister said this is the first celebrity that has died that has truly touched her (Michael Jackson of all people lol), but she remembers the days of propping his album cover up too. And we all thought we were bad when we listened to Beat It, don't deny! I remember the when Princess Diana died, that was the first "celebrity" passing that really effected me. And this is sad too. So I know he was crazy and hasn't made good music in years, but his legacy will live on among the music scene....and the teeny boppers of the 80s...forever. RIP Michael.
