Subject: Michael Jackson gone

I know he was bizarre in the end and may have had some icky secrets, but I was a big Michael Jackson fan in junior high and high school. It's sad to see someone with so much talent fall apart the way he did — and then died so young. And, yeah, these days 50 is young.

RIP, MIchael. Thanks for the hours of dancing.

[> I hope he is finally at peace. He certainly wasn't at peace in his life. He really was very influential in pop music in the 80's but I think a lot of his musical contributions were overshadows by his personal demons. -- Ann Ann

[> [> That's so true, Ann. Sometimes it was hard to remember how amazing he was on stage because all of that distracted from his abilities as a performer. I watched a concert video of "Billy Jean" yesterday and remembered how enthralled my generation was (that would be our generation) over his dancing. I showed my son and told him that there's never been anyone who could dance like Michael. -- P.C., Friday, June 26, 07:03:35am

[> I'm a little surprised at how much this has upset me. While I was not particularly a fan, he was part of the soundtrack of my life. I hope now he is at peace. There won't be another like him. -- Beth, Thursday, June 25, 10:20:38pm

[> [> Same here, Beth. I loved his music up through and including "Thriller." And "Thriller" was the soundtrack of my senior year of high school. I have many memories of that album and dancing (and making out... I was genuinely shocked when I heard the news and felt deeply saddened by it. :-( -- P.C., Friday, June 26, 07:05:23am

[> I've always hoped that the worst wasn't true,but we'll never know.I thought it was sad to see what became of him,after what an amazing performer he was.I forget how old I was,but I remember when they had sequined gloves for sale at the checkout lane in the grocery stores,and I remember begging my Mom to buy me one.By himself he was spectacular,and when he teamed up with others,well,that was really a treat.I was shocked to see the news yesterday. -- Bo, Friday, June 26, 09:16:22am

[> [> Did your mom buy you that glove, Bo? LOL! I remember making out on the dance floor to "Billy Jean." It was incredibly erotic -- being in a room of people dancing and all but having sex right there. TMI, probably. But that's one of my best memories from that time. -- P.C., Friday, June 26, 09:44:01am
