Michael Jackson

Alright, he passed yesterday at the age of 50 and everyone goes nuts, "Here's to MJ" or "At least the kids can sleep better!"

No matter what your opinion of the man was, there are some truths out there. Michael Jackson wrote his own music, he wrote his own lyrics, he was the king of pop. Although people who know me, know that I care not about the pop genre, his influences are felt all over the musical community.

Yes he had a messed up life, I'm not going to get into that here, I simply want people to remember that he did contribute to what we know as modern music more than most know and that it is an end of an era. Remember where he came from, and let his judgement come from who/or whatever being is above us.

Peace!
