Beat It was one of the very first albums that I owned. Oh, I had, of course, a collection of Disney Pops, and the soundtracks to Annie and Star Wars and the like, but Beat It was the first real...

No way, I'm first!??
I agree. He was a star long before I was born, and his best albums were made when I was a mere child. I love(d) him, his music, he eccentricities. I never believed for one minute, any of the contraversial child molestation charges, and I will believe until the day I die that those were brought up just so some mom could make a buck. Not gonna lie, there.
I will miss him. His music will forever remain in my heart and soul, as well as my CD player in my car.
Definitely, RIP.....he needs the peace for sure.
No snarking here either- had the Thriller poster on my wall. Choreographed a one-glove dance routine to Billie Jean for my little sister's girl scout troop. I believe his legacy will be his music, and not his vagina-nose freakshow phase. (oops was that a tiny snark? sorry).
I came to a post by you about Michael Jackson from a link in another post by you titled "I Like Baby Butts And I Cannot Lie". Ahem.
Yes!
No snarking here. Loved his music as a teen especially! It was one of my first real records, and yes I said record.
What a great tribute. I'm also glad he was part of my world..... Always made me want to dance also! He was a legacy and his sadness of later years should not be how we remember him. Thanks for this!
I had a hard time explaining to someone that I am sad he passed away because it is as if a part of our childhood died.
Do I like what he became later in life....no. Were my walls as a pre-teen and teen covered with Michael Jackson, oh hell yes. Was he guilty of what he was accused? I think so. Will we ever know? No, that is between him and his maker.
CELEBRATION OF A LIFE, A LEGEND - The King Of Pop
Thank you for your post and like you no matter what was said about Michael Jackson I loved his music and love him for the music, artistry and dance moves. He is the moon walk guy, he is the guy that would and always will get the foot tapping and the dance floor moving. Man, Woman and Child around the world loved Michael Jackson.
He will be missed.
There aren't words... What a star!
He will be missed dearly :o(
