The King of Pop's final stop


I still can't believe that Michael Jackson is gone! Michael Jackson is dead! D.E.A.D! I can't believe it! It's surreal; like a nightmare all those who love him will never awake from. I am heartbroken. I was such a huge fan. My heart goes out to his little children, his parents. his siblings, all his friends and fans around the world. I feel like a part of me has died too. The reason I say this is because MJ was synonymous with my childhood. He was our hero back in the day. I remember watching my older brothers attempt to moonwalk, dress like him, act like he did. Not to be left behind, I practiced MJ's moves, and tried my hand at singing (I was not very successful on that front ). He was like our very own super hero! He started out with the Jackson 5 (way before my time), but when I came around, I grew to love those old hits. I still love his music to this day. Even before his death, any time I heard his music on the radio, I would blast the volume and jam to his awesomeness. I know he hadn't released any new material in a while, however, I held out hope that he would one day make an explosive comeback. People can say what they want about his personal life, but there is no denying the fact that Michael was and will forever be one of a kind. He was an incredibly talented man with unquestionable appeal. His music transcended all cultural and generational boundaries. Michael, often imitated, never duplicated! There will never be another MJ. Rest in perfect peace Michael Jackson. You will live on through your music.
