Personally, I feel a great sense of loss with the untimely passing of Michael Jackson.
He brought me, and those I love, both present and loves lost, great enjoyment and fun when we dance to his music; I'll miss you Mike. For me, Michael's death is not unlike losing John Lennon: Two guys who could truly change the world....Often, too much pressure, expectation, and misplaced hope is put upon our artists, those we count on for pleasure whether it be visual, auditory, or by feeling within our senses; Michael Jackson did not, nor did he want, to be looked to for political or moral guidance, he was an artist. Again, I'll miss his art....Rest easy Mike, and the best to your inner circle, may they find peace in knowing how much joy you brought to those of us who appreciated your art and who never had the opportunity to spend time with you......
