Michael Jackson
This week we have lost an icon in the music world. While many people have mixed reactions to Michael Jacksons passing, he was truly an icon and made an everlasting impact on culture. Personally I do remember two different Michael Jacksons; the first being the “King Of Pop” and a legend in the music industry, then there is the last decade and a half. The last decade and a half was more about Michael and his personal affairs and some strange behavior on the stars part, but its greatly over shadowed by his work in music and dance.
I am appalled by some of the terrible things I hear people say. Remember in this country that one is innocent until proven guilty and fact remains, prosecuting teams never could get a jury to believe a crime was committed. Remember Michael Jackson for the music and performer he was, and not the scandal supercharged by the media and rumor.
To pay tribute I wanted to post one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs but most were restricted by the poster. There is one I found however that I that was really cool, most may have already seen it. Its thriller done by a 1500 inmates at a correctional facility in the Philippines. Typically you don’t think of inmates doing anything to constructive in prisons but watching tv, lifting weights and fighting gangs. This video is about a year old or so but what a tribute… In an unexpected way. R.I.P. Michael Jackson





Great blog post….
I have been, and will remain, a MJ fan forever.
He was a creative man who was portrayed by the media as anything but the genius he was and I hate them for it.
Sure he was misunderstood but not because he was miscommunicating. The people he opened his heart, soul and home to like Martin Bashir, and the money hungry families that accused him of child molestation didn’t see MJ for the loving, giving person he was – all they saw were $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
May he forever rest in peace.
The world is a better place for we were blessed with MJ even if it was for a very short time.
