still kind of stunned that michael jackson is actually gone...i'd say he's the first major celebrity that i grew up admiring as a kid who's died. maybe a couple other actors...but no one as big or that i really loved. and no, i wasn't a huge fan, but he was definitely one of the first singers i remember as being a favorite, especially when the thriller album came out. and regardless of what i thought of him as i got older and he got...weirder...there's no doubt he was immensely talented, and i still feel good when i hear some of his older music. with all the hoopla surrounding him as a person, it's easy to forget how good that music was. i just hope that that's what he'll be remembered for. i was a little saddened when i went to cnn and saw they had a video of him dangling the baby right there along with all the nicer videos of him singing or people saying nice things about him...

anyway, it's a strange thing whenever someone passes so suddenly. i wish he had gotten the chance to perform his last concerts. posted at 6:56 PM | 0 comments
