Farewell King of Pop

I’m bad….you’re “Bad”…we’re all talking about Michael Jackson nonstop…and if you’re like me…you “Don’t stop Til You Get Enough.”

I don’t want to “Beat It” over and over…but Michael Jackson is a music legend and it’s only “Human Nature” that we want to talk about him, play his songs, and remember him after his untimely death at age 50…leaving everyone in a “State of Shock.”

Today is the memorial service for Michael Jackson at the Staples Center in LA. It doesn’t matter if you’re “Black or White”…whether you’re “Billie Jean,” “Ben,” “Dirty Diana”, or some "P.Y.T.(Pretty Young Thing)"…people are getting together today to either “Cry” or celebrate his life.

Michael Jackson was loved worldwide. His music found a way to bring people together and to “Heal The World.” Those of you out there who loved Michael Jackson know that “You Are Not Alone.”

We “Remember the Time” when we first heard a young MJ with the Jackson 5 who easily took the stage and limelight without any nerves or “Butterflies.” From then on, he never had any privacy in his life and I’m sure there were countless times he wanted to “Scream” and yell “Leave Me Alone.”

Over the last few years…when it came down to the “Man in the Mirror”…Michael had become a controversial figure…some thinking he was “Dangerous”...a “Smooth Criminal" and others thinking he was a brillant artist…a music icon. Regardless, of your position…his amazing talent and artistry earned him the title of ‘King of Pop.’

Whenever you hear a Michael Jackson song…it makes you want to “Get On The Floor” and “Shake Your Body” …it makes you feel like you “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’.

Not only was his music "Workin' Day and Night"…his music videos were always a “Thriller” with their innovative and “Off The Wall” revolutionary approach to telling a story and creating a short film.

As one of the millions and millions of Michael Jackson fans “I Can’t Help It”…but I am going to miss him "For All Time." Like other fans around the world, I feel that Michael had a lot of music left to give and has “Gone Too Soon.”

As Michael Jackson fans…world over…“We Are The World” and today we remember, celebrate, and say goodbye to the 'King of Pop.'

Farewell Michael...We have loved every song, every dance, and every chance to “Rock With You.”

“Can You Feel It?”
