hold me like the river jordan, and i will then say to thee, “you are my friend”
I loved Michael Jackson. His music, his lyrics, his dance moves, his persona. I watched his beautifully choreographed music videos on endless repeat. I decorated my wall with his poster and the words, “Michael Jackson is the King of Pop” with a green felt-tip pen. In 1999 when I made my first web site, I had a Michael Jackson shrine complete with biographies, photos, discography and lyrics. I have a copy of J. Randy Taraborrelli’s Michael Jackson: The Magic and The Madness that I read more than a dozen times, which made me feel closer to the star himself.
It was also why I never believed in all the accusations and charges hurled at him. Can’t be arsed to explain it here, I’ll lend you the book if you want to read it and if I can locate it.
For all his faults and all his eccentricities, there is no other. RIP Michael.

Me loves him also… loves his songs, loves his dance…
still can’t accept the news…
what I can say is… Michael, you are not alone! I’ll be with you always!
RIP to Michael Jackson
Sigh. We’ve lost so many icons this past two years….
*pass Kleenex all around
Ya RIP moonwalker.
Indeed. There is no other.
omg i have the same book. in hindsight i was wayyy too young to appreciate the biography back then and mostly bought it because there were all these pictures of him and his family inside (which i later ripped out to keep in somewhere safe but alas they’re all lost now
) also that was probably the first time i read anything related to sex (jermaine’s penchant for young fans documented) and realised babies didn’t come from storks or burst out from rocks. heh.
His music is legendary. Almost every song is a hit!
sad news it was.
i am not exactly a fan, but after reading his post mortem report, i feel for him. for all he has done to humanity, he received cruelty in return.
I am glad he finally has his rest.
I remember that you have been a long time fan since we were kids… I felt pretty sad when heard about the news, and I thought about you, recalling how much you supported him
