R.I.P. Michael Jackson
Friday, 26 June 2009
Like millions of people I was shocked at the unexpected passing of Michael Jackson. Now, I'm not going to pretend that I was the biggest Michael Jackson fan ever, I'm not going to even pretend I understood him. But I did grow up with the music, the same music that can be listened to and appreciated now, he is an icon, and once again we are reminded that life is short and precious.
We played 'you are not alone' at Aarons funeral as it felt so fitting and is one of Dave's favourites.

I couldn't get the video to load, but of all the songs I've heard today, this is the one I like the best. I've never been a Michael Jackson fan, but his life was not easy. Money and fame can be a tragedy, not a blessing!

I can mark the first 22 years of my life by so much of his music. Freaky guy, for sure. But it's sad.

I have missed reading your blog so much while I have been away. I hope all is well with you and your family. Can't wait to catch up now that my computer is all better.
As for Michael Jackson, although he was somewhat of a freak in the end, he will always be a kind of reminder to some of my childhood memories. My brother when only 2, use to sing Thriller in these big old sunglasses...it was sooo cute.

We've lost a wonderful talent.
