A Legend Is Lost

Hey all, so today I come to you with some sadness in my typing. I'm sure you've all heard by now that the great Micheal Jackson has passed away. I must say even though I didn't grow up listening to his music and I myself am not personally influenced by it, he has still been a large part of my musical existence. I think anyone who loves music as much as I do will agree with me when I say that love him or hate him he was a music legend, or I should say IS a music legend. I was so shocked when I heard the news. I had just woken up from my nap (yes i'm 19 and I take naps, what of it?) and I came downstairs to my mom telling me "well you missed a lot". And then she told me. And I couldn't believe it. And I'm not the only one. I was just on Twitter and there were countless posts about it down my homepage from countless different people, some of which you would never think listened to his music. I was glad to see that they cared though and they should. I think it goes to show that no matter ow many bad things someone may or may not have done in their lives, no matter how much drama surrounded them, if they made a mark on history in a positive way, that's the mark of success. At least it is to me and I think we should all do MJ a solid and forget his checkered past and remember him for his incredible talent, not his numerous allegations.
Til next time:
XOXO

  1. I loved what you wrote...it makes a lot of sense, he made mistakes--everyone does but you have to look over that and see all the good they have done! =]

    Oh, and I took a nap too and woke up and found out the same thing from my parents--weird, huh?
