GoodBye To The King Of Pop – Michael Jackson
In 1983 I sat in the family room on my families farm watching TV from our giant satellite dish. Back then I loved big haired rock and roll, dreamed of taking over Klaus Meine’s job as lead vocals of the Scorpions and secretly I wanted to be a solid gold dancer. I’m white, can’t dance but I loved to try.
It all started on that TV set 26 years ago when I watch the Motown 25th Anniversary broadcast. I was a closet Michael Jackson fan and the media back then rumored that there was going to be something huge that night. Little did the world know that “Billy Jean” was about to turn the dance world literally on it’s ear and into a different direction. The following year (1984) “Beat Street” hit the screen and then “Footloose,” the American dance revolution was born.
Even though I was still white, my buddies and I use to but cardboard downstairs in my parents basement and attempt to dance.
Yesterday the world said goodbye to the “King of Pop.” I too said goodbye privately as I’m sure most of the world did.
I’m sure you heard most of the speakers and friends say “Michael Jackson was a lover of life!” I want to say that “a lover of life would never take theirs.”
Thanks Michael for letting me think that it was possible to dance.
