My tribute post to a great icon- Michael Jackson
Words cannot express my deepest & most sincere sympathies for his family, friends & all the fans world-wide in this time of a great loss. We have lost one of the greatest icons of our time.
I've been a fan of this brilliant musician since I was six & listened to the Jackson 5. My first album I could call my own was 'Off The Wall'. I have followed him throughout the good times & the bad. He was my first true 'hero' & will always hold that special place in my heart.
I love you, Michael for everything you did & everything you were. I'm sorry I never got the chance to say thank you to you personally for enriching my life with all your brilliance. You will truly be missed, but your legacy will live forever within my heart & the hearts of so many others & beyond.
No matter what the varying opinions are about him, he was a pop icon & was brilliant in his art. Love him or hate him, he was influential to so many people, some being musicians themselves. He had a 'magic' about him, or maybe that's my opinion.
Your & yours are in my thoughts & prayers at this sad time.
Rest in Peace, SweetHeart. I hope you finally have the peace you always wanted.
Edit: I found this in my myspace bulletin List. Saul Williams is an amazing Slam Poet, artist in his own right & he found it neccessary to repost this beautifully written bulletin. The words about Michael Jackson in the following screencap I made of it, so true:
