I can still remember being 6 years old and begging my mother to stay awake so that I could finish watch The Jacksons:An American Dream. I sat captivated by the success story. This family sacrifice their lives for their success. It was inspirational. I remember feeling moved by every scene, good or bad. Well, yesterday was one of those bad scenes for the family. At 2:26pm the Jackson family lost a very important member.
I was not the biggest Michael Jackson fan, but I loved his music. His hits could always get me up and moving. I have been doing so for the part 20 hours or so now. His music could be described as magical. He changed music in ways that other artist could only hope to do in their careers. Its a shame that he will no longer be around to release more music.
I just hope that since he's gone his fans can heal. I also hope that people don't start bashing this man now that he can no longer defend himself. In the time since his passing I have seen several statuses that labeled him a perv or a creep. People are so quick to label someone because of their differences. While I am not justifying his actions, I know that there is always a background story to every case. We are all well aware of his childhood. I'm sure there were somethings that he never talked about with any reporter. The saddest part of this all is that he probably never found peace with his past.
I hope that his family can look at all the good that he has done and how his work has brought together millions of people. I hope this gives them peace because his life was not in vain. He did what he loved doing and what he was best at.
Rest in perfect peace Michael Jackson, The King of Pop
K.E.F.
