Michael Jackson and Me

Hey Poonte,
I feel you man. When I heard of his death all those memories of childhood came flooding back to me and I couldn't control my tears. I was about 11-12 when I first heard his song "beat it" and I was hooked on it. My friend had even bought that red jacket with 28 zipper on it. It felt like I had known him most of my life. I remember when Michael Jackson's "Thrillers" would come on MTV my brother and I would drop everything we were doing and run to the TV. I remember us watching when Thriller won 8 Grammies  we were so wowed. And who can forget his white sparkly gloves and his shocks showing below his pants. And I do remember we practiced the moonwalk and I even keep practicing and practicing until I finally mastered the way that girl walks when she comes out of the movie theater on the Thriller video.
He was so shy and soft spoken and he had such a wonderful smile. Whatever he did later in his life doesn't really compare to all the great things he did. I will always cherish the wonderful memories of Michael Jackson, his wonderful music that brought the whole world together.

Rest in Peace Michael. I love you.

Jenny.
