i am beyond sad that michael jackson is gone
i don't care what people said about him - i think he was an innocent, tortured, mis-understood soul
he was someone who got thrust into being the breadwinner for a family, before puberty, and was still controlled by his father all the while being fed jehovah's witness guilt
he touched the hearts of so many people, and breached all socially set boundaries
age
location
gender
skin colour
religion
economic status
education
we played michael jackson at our wedding (the way you make me feel)
i've danced with my daddy, in the kitchen, to billie jean and thrilled - and this was last year when we went back to texas to visit
msnbc is doing a pretty good job of honouring his memory
