The Tragedy of Michael Jackson

[robocoon]

I'm sure everyone knows it at this point, but Michael Jackson passed away this afternoon. I heard about it almost as soon as it happened, but have been out all day and unable to write. Being away for a while gave me some time to let the thoughts percolate, though. I've kept my feelings about him bottled up for several years, and I feel like if any

You made some very good points that I had never considered before, especially about his odd physical transformations, to use your words.

I never like to speak ill of the dead, but now I regret all the times I thought ill of him in life. Thank you for posting this.

Well-written! One of my friends linked to this, so I followed it and read it.

I couldn't have said it better myself... I mean really, I tried, but you hit the nail on the head. Thank you.

MJ was one of the heaviest musical influences in my early childhood, if not the first real big one... I've found that music is my calling in life and now I strive to let the world hear what's in my heart, but I don't think people will understand me any better than they did Micheal Jackson because unfortunately, there is a widespread corruption of the human spirit in this world and a lot of people haven't woken up to think and feel for themselves. So be it. Micheal never stopped doing his own thing and neither will I.

Excellent post.

wow, very good post. (was pointed over here by a friend). Makes a lot of sense too. Hell, not a day goes by where I don't fire up my NES, SNES and Genesis emulators and play at least a few minutes. And if I could find an N64 emu that wouldn't break my comp, that too XD
