Just finished watching an online broadcast of the Michael Jackson memorial service and wanted to write a few thoughts while they're fresh in my mind...
Michael Jackson made an incredible impact on the face of popular music and to the "older" generation who don't get it and wonder what all the fuss is about...my generation's Elvis just died.
There are 3 children in the world today, regardless of what you personally think of their family unit who really miss their daddy.
Michael Jackson was a human with struggles and demons just like every single one of us on the planet. Difference of course was that MJ's struggles were played out in public. I wonder how the rest of us would fare if our demons were slapped all over every newspaper and media outlet on planet earth. Glass houses people.
Innocent until proven guilty has to mean just that even when the world says differently. Otherwise everything this country was built on is worthless.
Brooke Shields has aged beautifully. Sorry had to get that one in.
MJ holds a Guiness record for having given more money to charity than any other recording artist in history. The rest were too busy sticking it up their noses. When he was seriously burned by Pepsi he used the legal settlement to build a burn unit along with supporting about 40 other charities and performing countless other charitable acts. What burns me (no pun intended) is that MJ was apparently more devoted to the "work of the gospel" than most of those who have written him off in the name of Jesus.
Al Sharpton's comments actually moved me. Wow.
The older I get the more sickened I am by the ignorrant surface judgement of people.
Loved Usher's rendition of Gone Too Soon
About the Brooke Shields comment...NO woman is THAT perfect. She and Michael Jackson must have shared the same plastic surgeon....
