I meant to post this after the memorial but just didn’t have the time. If you’re even just a little bit of a Michael Jackson fan please read this and watch some of the videos. I’d really appreciate it and I promise you won’t regret it. <3

EDIT: Making this a public entry so I can share it with some fellow MJ fans. :)

I think this is possibly the best MJ tribute I have seen. Because it's finally made me snap and realize that he's gone. I had been living in the stigma that the media created for him the past 10 years. His eccentricities jaded a lot of people, including me. But it's now at 1am as I looked at your post that I realized that one of the most influential men is gone. My childhood - watching what I had always deemed "the Free Willy song" live in concert on MTV with my cousin, eating Mike and Ikes and then watching Beavis and Butthead later. The nineties MJ is what I know. These videos are what I know. The fan-fucking-tasticness of Billie Jean (my favorite song, btw) is what I know. He completely changed the face of music videos. We wouldn't have 6 to 10 minute long music videos these days without him. Stories wouldn't be woven into songs without him.

It's just now hitting me and goddamn, it's not fair. You and I are like Paris. We'll never know what it's like to grow up with him by our side but at least we knew that our dads were goddamn brilliant men. May he rest in peace.
