I know this isn’t my usual blog post. I don’t talk about stars and celebrities, but my sister called me a half hour ago and told me that Michael Jackson is dead!! I grew up in the seventies…an African American girl enamored with Michael Jackson and his brothers! I remember listening to Thriller cassette tape over and over in high school. I remember the Jackson Five songs Dancin’ Machine, ABC, Never Can Say Goodbye, you name it!
I didn’t follow him as much as an adult, and didn’t really agree with his lifestyle, but, still…I’m just shocked that he’s dead is all!!! I’m devastated…shocked!!
Shocked here too! Always thought his money would buy him health for years to come. How sad. Just another reminder none of us knows how long we have : <
Me, too. Girl. Wow! I was IN LOVE with MJ when I was six. Lord, have mercy.
I grew up with Michael Jackson music too. My older brother would drive me to school when I was in 3rd grade and I would beg him to play the Jackson 5 in his 8 track! I remember learning.. ABC.. easy as 123.. His life has been a sad one in my opinion and their is no joy in his death. Barb
