Michael - A Genius at Rest
A long time ago, my mother took me to a concert in the Coluseium in Houston. I was young enough to be excited and old to be careful not to appear too crazy. Can't say the same about my mother. ^_~
Michael was a part of the Jackson 5 at the time and everyone loved him. Seeing the Jackson 5 in person was like seeing the Beatles for the people a generation above me.
I remember that they were good, the sound was crappy, I had to lean over to see anything because my view was blocked by a pillar, and the one thing I'll NEVER forget...the song, 'I'll Be There' When Michael sang. "Just call my name..." and the crowd yelled out "Michael!" ....my mom was among them... I was mortified.
Over the years, Michael Jackson has risen to iconic status. He has been loved and vilified. The one thing that no one can EVER take away from him was simply this...
He was a damned fine muscian. He was a genius showman...
Rest in Peace Michael.
