With his passing a part of my childhood has ended. Music is my life and many of my first music memories involve M.J and his music.
My brother did the moon walk yesterday as he accepted his award for athlete of the year at his grade 8 graduation. The crowd went wild and it reminds me of the legacy and artistry of M.J that a crowd of adults and kids from a multitude of ethnic backgrounds and languages roared with recognition and joy. He transcended race, gender, musical tastes, and generations. I'm going to blog about this later after the shock and sadness sinks in a bit.
