As the world mourns the untimely death of Michael Jackson, we hear his music constantly and see his pictures everywhere, on the internet, television, newspapers and magazines. What a shame Michael Jackson didn’t receive this tremendous appreciation when he was alive, but like so many artists, they only become fashionable and appreciated after they die.
 
In a way we grew up together; I bought his records, tried to emulate his dance moves and waited with baited breath for his next release until the Thriller Album was released, nothing was going to top that video – it become the first, big production music video and raised the bar for chart videos to follow. We have a lot to thank Michael Jackson for, outstanding music, videos and dancing; an inspiration for many who followed.
 
I will have happy memories of good times when I hear certain tracks, I just hope the media don’t over-play them and kill the music too.
