the death of Michael Jackson has
shocked me to the core of my being
because ever since I was 4 it was
my dream to watch him perform live.
I vaguely remember watching his music videos
and listening to his albums like
"Bad" and "Thriller" over and over
dancing my little booty off in the living room.
Music isn't the same without MJ.
it got me pulling out all my old
rock & roll legends' albums.
The Beatles,
The Eagles,
Guns 'N' Roses,
The Rolling Stones...
I'm reminded of the days when rock was rock,
and you rolled with whatever life served you .
Made me think of expression
and freedom and that thing people
used to call "being in the groove",
being who you are and not caring what
people think of you other than knowing
that they are going to absolutely love you .
RIP to Michael.
