I did trip out a little when I heard Michael Jackson had passed away. I still remember some of the first coed parties I hosted as a kid growing up that we listened to MJ, friends had posters, wore one glove to school, etc. However, I have not followed every bit of news, listened as his life was unearthed, and didn’t watch his memorial today on tv or revere him beyond what he was — someone that was immensely talented as an entertainer, and immensely troubled as an individual.
There’s always a bit of sorrow when someone dies, because you think of what’s been left behind (loved ones, etc.) but for him I’d like to believe this may offer a long sought after peace.
One new thing I did learn from all the buzz around his death (it was hard not to over twitter!) over the past week+ is that at some point he sang Come Together by the Beatles. Love that song (even though it’s one of their more nonsensical songs) and as a talented singer, Michael Jackson covered it well. Just thought I’d share.
