Why is everyone saying Michael Jackson died? I’ve head him on the radio all day yesterday. I saw him on facebook and youtube all day yesterday too. He’s on Pandora right now. He also often performs at clubs that I go to.
I don’t get it. I see him perform with Destiny’s Child in their Bootylicious music video and he often performs in Ne-Yo music videos. I see him perform PYT with the JabbaWockeez and I see him perform Thriller with Kaba Modern. He can be spotted performing with Usher and Chris Brown too. His sister, Janet, performs with him often also.
He makes small appearance sometimes when my friends dance or try to dance. The moonwalk is legendary and Michael always shows up to encourage me, my friends, our future kids and all of their friends to be just a bit smoother.
The feeling of loss isn’t any less just because he moved far, far, far away. But I associate death with mourning and people around the world have been celebrating all that he has done and all that he continues to do. We do not celebrate death. We celebrate life. Thus I can only conclude that Michael Jackson is very much alive.
Michael has done more in half of his lifetime than I can even imagine to accomplish in all of my life. Thus, he will continue to live many lifetimes after I have gone my way.
The possibility of shaking your hand has grown infinitesimally more difficult but I will never forget what you have given me. Thank You Michael and Bon Voyage.
