The kids are in the family room watching video after video of Michael Jackson. Switching between VH1, Fuse, MTV, and MTV2. There were a lot of Michael Jackson videos. I grew up listening to Michael Jackson. I was (still am) a fan. And apparently I passed that appreciation on to my kids because as each new video begins, they are very excited to see it. Reminiscing and talking about different aspects of the song/video, what they liked about it, etc.We all know in the latter part of his life he seemed, well I hate to say it, a little bit crazy. And then the courts of law found him innocent of all those horrific charges. Still… his contribution to music is undeniable. His story is so amazing, and so bizarre, and so tragic, all at once. I for one hope he rests in peace.

I was in complete shock when I found out about this tragic death. I know that I grew up with his music too, since my dad was a huge fan. My dad is verrrry sad about the news :(
It makes me sad that people have to make jokes about him and his life, and everything else. :(
He will be missed. RIP MJ!
I also have been a fan since he was a small boy. I love his music and videos. I was looking forward to his new tour. Love Mom
I was proud to say that my very first albume I owned was called
"ABC" by the Jackson Five !! I would stay in my bedroom for hours listening to Michael Jacson sing I'll be There and all the other songs on that record.....I wish he could of felt the love that is pouring out all over the world today before he died! I pray he rest in peace. Jodie Clark
I really like the way that you wrote that blog.... you got it exactly right!! I remember doing the "Thriller" performance at our dance production with the high school and watching that video on MTV (when they finally decided to play black artists videos since they hadn't done it till then...) talk a about a major break through and accomplishment. I will always have a great respect for him and hope that he is finally in peace!!
Im super sad he is gone too I will really miss his music and hope to buy some of his cds soon.
