Over the past hour or so I have been riding a sad, sad rollercoaster. Is Michael Jackson dead? Is he in a coma? Yes, he is in a coma. Thank you CNN. Wait… Yes, he is dead.
Say what you will about Michael Jackson and his personal life. It was a mess. But no one can deny the impact he had on the world of music and pop culture. I have fond memories of my childhood and listening to his music. He was unique and troubled and the most amazing musician and dancer.
I am sad and in shock. I just felt the need to express it since my husband is not home and I have no one to hug.
You summed up things well here, Michael Jackson was indeed Wacko, but his music was awesome. He was an important icon for the African-American community but misfortune in his private life took its toll, be it his childhood and his terrible treatment by the media. RIP Michael Jackson, i hope you get some peace at last.
