MJ, you’ll be missed

The world has lost its biggest talent and that in itself is disheartening. We all have had moments with Michael, whether we knew him personally or not. He pervaded our lives, entered our psyche and came through our television screens and radio speakers. He changed the way we listened to and loved music and he changed the way some of us looked at the world.

Our parents grew up with Michael as a young boy, bred for the spotlight, precocious and beyond his years talent-wise and we grew up with Michael the superstar, who wielded his celebrity for good and lived to entertain us. In his darkest years, some of us stood by him and that’s when he truly needed his legion of fans most. The cult of celebrity is a trap that some never make it out of and  just when it seemed Michael was regaining his footing, he was called home.

Michael Jackson will be sorely missed, not because he was the greatest entertainer in the world, not for the vast array of people he influenced, but for the void he has left. His tragic undoing was his greatest show and while he lived for the spotlight, this is his final curtain call. Rest in Peace Michael, you finally can.

My prayers go out to his children, his family and close friends.
