Goodbye to a true legend

I've just finished watching the amazing Michael Jackson memorial and I cried like a baby. Ever since that awful day I get so choked up just talking about him or his music......I've been digging out Nick's vinyl copies of 'Bad', 'Thriller' and 'Off the Wall' and playing them (without the slipmat to Nick's horror!) at top volume, reading the lyrics and singing along.....it all brings back memories of me as a child tryin to copy the moonwalk or the smooth criminal 'lean'. I also remember putting our tape player right up close to the TV screen and pressing the record and play buttons at the same time, so I could tape his songs from the 'Moonwalker' movie. I then played the (terrible quality!) tape over and over......I feel like we have lost one of the last true 'greats'. Sure, we have very talented musicians/artists out there right now, but Michael pioneered modern, urban music, dance and music videos as we know them. RIP Michael. x
