The world has lost an entertainment legend today.  Although he has become somewhat of hermit and led a very strange life the last 10 or so years, he will always be the King of Pop.  He paved the way for so many and was such an inspiration.  I LOVED him as a 10 year old in the early 80's.  Thriller, Beat It, Billie Jean.  Oh, and let's not forget Rock With You.  That is when he was really in his glory, such a sweet and cute guy.  I had a poster of him in my room and even had earrings with his face on them!  When I was in 5th grade, we danced to Billie Jean for our dance recital and wore silver and black sequined costumes with gloves and fringe.  I even learned how do to the moonwalk, which I can still do to this day. 

Even though he may have gone down a path that not many people understood in the last few years, he was and will always be an icon. 

RIP Michael Jackson

Well said my sweet friend, I absolutely agree. I am still in shock. Many of us grew up with him and this loss is devastating. Many thoughts of love and prayer to his family...
