The last moonwalk
This is enough, I think:
You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I’ll be there
And in the end, this, much more than the circus of his later years, is what I’m going to remember about Michael Jackson, gone too soon at fifty.
Now I’m going to go crank up Off the Wall. The man knew how to work a groove.

Unfortunately all is overshadowed by the probability that he committed that most heinous of crimes — child sexual abuse. Just can’t get past that.

That is exactly the song I posted on my blog/playlist. Many sweet memories. Yes, he did get weird, and in the end probably died from a very broken heart.

Since he just died and we should be somewhat respectful, I’ll defer to my mother’s remonstration that if I can’t say anything good….
I will say that even though I could never stand him or his music even in his salad days – he was obviously talented and an influence on pop music. It is a shame that he was so warped. Clearly, life was painful for him, and I think we can all relate to him on that level even a little bit.

Has anyone investigated where Luv Guv Mark Sanford was when Michael Jackson died? Because he had the most to gain from a big celebrity death that would push his sex scandal off the front page. I’m just askin’…
