At approxamately 12:26 PST on June 25th Michael Jackson passed away as a result of cardiac arrest. I'm pretty shook up by this...quite sad actually. I'm sad we have lost a legend.
Before you joke about it please understand, Michael Jackson was a pretty big part of my childhood, not to mention the impact he had on pop culture. He gave me many hours of entertainment and he is responsible for bringing us one of the greatest albums of ALL TIME. He never was able to reach that level of success again, but then again, no one has reached that level of success. It is unfortunate that his reputation slipped after so many different things, most of which had NOTHING to do with the music or the art he created and became famous for.
I will always remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard MJ died. I even shed tears when I thought of all the memories he gave but I rest assured that his legacy and his music will live on forever. It is time that people realize that we have to separate the art from the artist. Regardless of all the issues he had, the art he created is undeniably classic and I wish his family and friends the best wishes through this tough time.
Rest in peace Michael…
