There are few times in life when an event has such an impact that one never forgets where they were when it happened. The first space shuttle disaster, Challenger, the death of Princess Diana and 9/11 are events I will never ever forget exactly where I was at the moment I heard about them.
Sadly, now Michael Jackson’s sudden untimely death is added to that tragic list. Both of my sisters sent me text messages that he had died, that’s how I found out. My sisters know that I was a huge fan of Michael’s back in the 80’s ! My younger sister, Marline, and I saw him in concert! The BAD concert – it was awesome, beyond expectations.
Michael’s last 2 decades have been confusing, problematic and sometimes odd. Nobody could understand him and accusations didn’t stop. It didn’t seem like the bad news about him would ever stop and the wait for another ‘Thriller’ album went on forever and now, we know, it will never come – somehow I think we already knew that, in our hearts.
Regardless of Michael’s personal life, his music and dance will live on forever, on the radio, on TV, with cover artists etc., and, mostly in our memories!
The moment I will remember, above and beyond the news of his death, is when he jumped on stage to start the 1992 Dangerous tour concert; I was only about 50 feet away from the stage! He jumped up from underneath the stage platform, amidst golden fireworks and landed as solid as a rock. He just stood there for about 5 minutes without even seeming to breathe! At first we all cheered and then after a few moments, without any movement from Michael, we all grew silent and waited in awe, the crowd no longer seemed to be breathing either, as we waited for…
Michael Jackson – May you Rest in Peace, in a better place.
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.
Heal The World by Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson Heaven Tour
Twenty five june in mourn goodbye to our king of pop
From five we are the world fans so true you gave us all
Abc its easy as one to three a child learns you never were
Thriller moves in dance moonwalk a lover billie jean heard
Entertainment defined also in song writes Michael you are
Arts canvas the stage you gave missed your childhood days
Beautiful is your soul and big your heart did you sing your song
Or did we take it away in hate and judgement causing killer stress
Taught a lesson ever so true learn a child be tell the truth as they
Time now to rest gave us your best your three left here will carry
Their daddies love hear you say ill be their just call out my name
Not only michael jacksons fans we love and miss you brother
On such a sad depressing day we also lost farrah the queen of hot
Goodbye from our hearts and God rest and peace to your soul

It was a very sad day. Such shocking news -my daughter and I were actually watching a retrospective of the 80’s when a message flashed across the bottom of the screen -making it more unbelievable. Thanks for the nice piece and sharing your memories.
Aw that was such a sweet dedication to Michael Jackson – Now I grew up in the 80’s I was born in 1981 , but @ a very young age I quickly got to know who Michael Jackson was , now I was a major big fan but as a kid I did like to watch him on Tv dancing , I thaught his outfits were incredible along with all his neat dance moves , I use to like to try to imitate some of his dance moves such as his famious moon walk – how ever as I grew up , I began to see a wonderful artest, dancer , creator and designer but @ the same time I began to see a man who was incredibly lonely , it became very odvious to me that Michael Jackson had alot of inner childhood issues that he had never deal with , I think that’s why he reached out to so many childran , in a way it was his way of using his struggles his had gone through as kid , in a better way – even tho some times the world did not understand that way . Michael Jackson was essentually like the Michel Jorden of music . He was the best there was , and I do think that there will be any one as good as Michael Jackson – how ever Michale Jackson has paved the path for so many of our ariest today like Christ Brown , Jay Z , Ludachis , Ryhanna , Desiny’s Child , the list could go on & on . Michael Jackson taught all of us that it is ok to be obbsessed with your craft , he taught us all that it’s ok to be obbsess with your passion in life and to never give up , no matter what people are saying about you .
