Idolized by millions yet trapped in a fantasy world of his own.
I'm torn at this moment not because of my thoughts on Michael Jackson, those are pretty straight forward. It's humanity as a whole especially that cyber crowd that has me in "Rant Mode". But I'll address that my next post.
Prior to Friday the last time Mike was even on my mind was during my viewing of the Dreams' new video that JacC'd M.J's look and "Scream" video a little too much.But beyond that was he a pillar of my existence?NO. But just cause "I didn't know him" or "He ain't doing anything for me" or whatever silly ass "I'm too real to care" comments I've heard, that doesn't mean that I/we can't some degree of humanity for the loss of a human life period. Save the Celeb CSI shit cuz it's between Him and God whats ills he has committed against anyone.And last time I checked R.Kelly was caught on tape doing his deed and folk still love him.But I digress.....
Whatever we consider success Mike surpassed it 10 fold. No matter how big Kanye, 50, Beyonce, Jay-Z or anyone else gets, you'll be hard pressed to see another artist have ABC,NBC,CBS,MTV
Inspite of all things, in the end I hope M.J had some degree of peace in his final moments. He's done too much to not at least get that. Even in unconsciousness, I hope he heard the words and prayers of his siblings and parents. I pray that should his place be in heaven that the love and well wishes of those he has touched lift his soul up to a better existence.Unfortunately, as is too often the case, he'll be loved more in death then in life.......
In case you would like to utilize this technology to cover the aftermath of M.J's passing in a relatively calm and controlled manner. I'd suggest that you hit up Miss Info's page which is basically ground zero to reach all important MJ info, tributes and coverage.In addition there is a well laid out tribute page on Hot 97.

It hasn't really hit me. I had a sense of chills hearing his music on the radio, in Japan that day. Yet, I know it hasn't hit me. I want to do my memorial to him. One that includes a video I shot of Japanese news, but I can't. I feel like I am going to be in NYC, a medley of his will come on in the club, lighters will go up, and I may cry...it's going to hit hard. It just hasn't yet.
If any one will capture some raw emotion it's you. I'm looking forward to it.
His death hit me hard! I had "I can't help it" on my mind strong from Tuesday morning when I heard it in my friends car..and I couldn't get the song out of my mind...then Thursday as I got home from work...i got on twitter I got a text msg and it was mayhem....I keep repeating this but even the last moments leading up to MJ's death was a spectacle...I'm just glad he can be at peace...you wont find that innocence & creative genuis anywhere again...still cant stop listening to the song...it spoke to me in more ways than one....
