I love Michael Jackson's music and I'm sad that another legend is gone. My first CD was Janet Jackson. :) (don't remember first tape...too long ago!)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36135958.post-82989023216705490592009-06-28T05:02:30.036-06:002009-06-28T05:02:30.036-06:00I loved him between ages 7 and 9.

This video definitely fed into my appreciation of his work!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13615570638950821876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36135958.post-62204657745206138182009-06-27T15:02:16.358-06:002009-06-27T15:02:16.358-06:00He was beaten by his father and robbed of his chil...He was beaten by his father and robbed of his childhood...who wouldn't be weird. I think in the end he will have been robbed twice, once in childhood from adults and secondly by an unchecked drug addiction. Looking at his life is such a confusing thing...brilliant...talented..and confused.Lets remember his legacy and lets remember drug addiction destroys all that is beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36135958.post-17305633670266339072009-06-27T04:15:23.685-06:002009-06-27T04:15:23.685-06:00It is very sad, I have to admit - he was weird, if...It is very sad, I have to admit - he was weird, if I may say so, in many ways as he grew older...but I always feel that whatever he was like, something (his tough upbringing and lack of a real childhood) all went towards adding to his darker side, which seems very unfair to me. That's not to say I didn't like him - he will be sadly missed.

He's always said that regardless of his personal issues, he was a fantastically talented musician and dancer, and Keith was a big fan of that. I was busy wishing we had enough $ to see him in London, but now it doesn't even matter. Meghanhttp://chikune.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
