So the king of pop has passed on...kind of weird to have the first BIG celebrity of my generation gone. I remember my mom talking about the day Elvis died and what a shocking, heartbreaking day that was. When I read online that MJ had died, I wouldn't have been more shocked if a stranger walked into my house and smacked me with a 2x4! What an unexpected death! No matter how weird he was or what went on in the last 15 years of his life, I don't think anyone can disagree with the fact that he was a talented music man and dancer. Really, who else created a dance as popular and well known as the "moonwalk"? I remember the wall size poster my cousin had of him on her bedroom wall when we were little and I remember renting "The Making of Thriller" from the video store over & over & over again. Without question, the man was an icon...a weird one but an icon nonetheless.
