I watched the Michael Jackson Memorial today. It was very tastefully done. Since he died, my mind has been inundated with MJ memories. <\/p>\n

I remember being around five and seeing the Jackson Five on television. I recall watching the J5 cartoon every Saturday morning in the early seventies.<\/p>\n

…seeing MJ and his brothers singing Dancin’ Machine and his doing the Robot
…seeing J5 doing commercials for Alpha Bits cereal
…listening to J5, and the Jacksons albums and 45s on the record player
…the impact that Thriller had in the music world when I was in high school. I listened to that cassette tape so much that I about wore it out<\/p>\n

When I got into my twenties, out of college, I purchased MJ CD’s since records were going out of style. <\/p>\n

I could go on and on with my memories. I’ve been listening to MJ music in some form practically my entire life.<\/p>\n

Just can’t believe he’s dead. I guess this is the first time a star has died that’s affected me so much. <\/p>\n

Rest In Peace, Michael.<\/p>\n

I’ll be back to blogging about regular topics tomorrow.<\/p>\n
