Updates.

Will unless you have been living under a rock than you know that Michael Jackson has officially passed away as of yesterday. It is crazy that 3 iconic American figures passed away within a week. I am too young to remember the Farrah craze as well as Carson/McMahon but I do remember Michael Jackson. I remember him well. I was introduced to MJ in the mid 80's with the hit "Beat It". I remember my dad and myself being HUGE Van Halen fans in the 80's and Eddie Van Halen was THAT GUY! And when my Dad heard Eddie on the MJ track we started listening to it and so the crazy began. For real, I had it ALL. Buttons, books, tapes and even a Barbie doll. no homo. But seriously, I caught Michael fever as a kid and carried it on until the 2000's. Some of my favorite memories of Michael def. include, the Superbowl performance, the premier of the Black or White video starring Macaulay Caulkin and the Bad video/song. I also really liked the Thriller video even tough Thriller came a few years before me. The dude was TRULY a genius and the biggest musician of my generation/era. I wish people would stop being so hateful with the child molestation allegations. We need to all remember him for his impact on the music industry. He is one of the only, if not the ONLY musician to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame TWICE. Either way, we love you Michael and thank you for being such a HUGE influence on modern music. You will be missed dearly.

Now, I want to share a few of my favorite Michael moments and songs as well as some random shit thrown in there. Hope you enjoy.
