So heartbreaking to hear of his death...Yesterday I was sitting at a road stop and one of the restaurant workers told my bro's wife that Jackson was dead, when I heard I just could not believe it. Very sad. Scandals aside, the man was a genius. People who didn't grow up in the 80's might not fully understand how much of an impact he had on pop culture. It's sad that a lot of younger people will probably only remember him as wacko-jacko the supposed pedophile. There will never be another Michael Jackson. As we get older time tends to take more than it gives. So many great entertainers have left us over the past few years, and the death of Michael Jackson is quite frankly a kick in the nuts...I feel real bad for his Kids, and I hope they'll be taken care off. Those kids are hairs to everything Michael had, and you know people are going to try to exploit them, and I really hope that doesn't happen.What I'll remember of Michael Jackson is Thriller, Bad, and Moonwalker. I don't think the man had a real moments peace his entire life, fame, scandals, ect. A comforting thought for me is, now Michael Jackson is finally at peace, he can finally rest and be free of his fame.Rest well Michael.Jeff-
