Micheal Jackson Dies: A post of Remembrance

Micheal Jackson's death came as quite a shock to many of us. At first it was stated that he was revived but then later on in the night reports were confirmed that indeed he was dead. This will probably be one of the most controversial deaths in a long time to come along side the most devastating death to the music, and dance community along side many of MJ's fans world wide.

While I get many think 'Yay another molester dead' Lets stop to realize what his death actually marks for the music and dance community. I may get thrown rocks for saying this but if your child was molested don't you think for a second you'd NOT take the money and have the man who violated your son prosecuted. Many can point fingers but the truth of the matter is and was he was never found guilty. So while I understand how some are sour at people mourning his death that's because we lost a truly amazing Music man.

I for one feel blessed to have been living in this era to say I was alive when the 'King of Pop' lived. I couldn't say that for Elvis and was never truly influenced by his works but I did sing along to some of his most famous tunes. With that being said MJ surpassed his sales and his overall popular songs.

The thing that makes the person special is how we view them in our hearts. The impact they had on our lives and the legacy they left behind. It's not about MJ being a celebrity FAR from it. Micheal Jackson was more than a 'celebrity', he was to music what Picasso was to painting, and Da Vinci to Inventions. He was to dance as Shakespeare was to the writing community. He will be remembered always as a man who revolutionized music. The thing that many of us cling to in times of need, music is all around us as is dance. He helped to bring a world culture together. Take a look at some of his music videos including Black and white. He incorporates all different cultural dances in there. He wasn't a celebrity he was an icon an inventor, and the people said it best the "King of Pop".

I still get this exhilarating feeling when I hear the beginnings of "The Way you Make Me Feel" Come on I know at least one of you reading this did the "he he's" and had your feet yearning to dance to the beat. I still get soo uplifted when I hear the "Free Willy Theme Song' it brings an emotional boost to my ear. He always sang about conflicts within our society and tried and succeeded to a point to bring the faults together and to try and make us become one.

He was a world icon one whose music will always remain in our hearts and will always play on the Radio.

This is to the King of Pop.

RIP!
