MJ

The death of Michael Jackson is one of those things that just makes you think. Take this person out of the world and where would we be? How many singers, performers and entertainers would not exist without the influence of this man? How many peoples lives were shaped and helped because of his talent and music?

I have specific memories attached to much of his music, though I was only a casual fan. "Man in the Mirror" is one of my favorite songs, to this day. He was a fabulous performer and created some amazing and timeless music. But most of all, he was huge. He was a presence. They don't make them like this anymore. His music will live on, but he will be missed.
