Goodbye MJ, you will be missed. What's to miss about MJ. His Music Contributions. His Donations to Charity.
HE was the KING OF POP, and for good reason.
I think this is tragic, just a few days ago, I found out Jackson was going on tour, and I asked myself if he was still able to do it, physically. He was a perfectionist, and competitive, and would push himself hard. I guess it was true. Jackson would have been 51 next month.
As far as the child abuse with that Jordan Chandler kid in the 90's stuff goes, I'm one of those silly people that still believe in "Innocent until Proven Guilty", and that Chandler Case was closed. Maybe Jackson did it and got away with it, or maybe he didn't. I'm not going to assume the worst. I do know that Wacko Jacko stories sold papers, and anything to tarnish a celeb in general is gossip that people will pay for.
I wasn't a huge MJ fan, but I find this to be sad.

That's all I can think of for now...
I remember so many of his songs :
=======================
I have had a few deaths in my family, but It's been awhile. However, The King Of Pop's Death really affeected me. You see, I grew up listening to all sorts of great music, and if you listen to great music, you couldn't have missed MJ's stuff. Im' not really talking about the MAN himself or putting him on a pedastal.
I'm talking about his musical legacy, and knowing that any new works of his will be lost forever.

He also gave many artists breaks with their #1 hits, like Rockwell's : Somebody's Watching Me (MJ's only part is "I always feel like, Somebody's Watching Meee!")
Truly, I went back and have listened to about 30 of his songs over and over, and I even have had quite a few conversation's with pals about it at Denny's and such.
Peace and Love, Fellow Gamers!

Goodbye Moonwalk. Good bye MJ. ![]()

He was certainly eccentric, and I didn't follow his life too much...but his contributions to charity and the music were awesome.
