This round up had an entirely different theme to it, but the late unfortunate news of pop legend Michael Jackson’s death changed things a little bit.
I remember as a child Michael Jackson was my hero, my brother and I would watch his movie Moonwalker almost every Friday night and we would try to imitate his dance but never successfully. Songs like Smooth Criminal and They Don’t Care About US will carry on his legend.
The last decade in his life was filled with drama and accusations, we might not agree with the things he has done but one thing we all can agree on is that he revolutionized the music industry and that’s what I’ll remember him for. King of Pop Music.
I’ll be going back in time this evening and watch Moonwalker.
Rest In Peace.

Thx for the include!
He definitely revolutionized the industry. The man was famous for 80% of his life.
Agree, agree… I did my own tribute to MJ today too. Love his early work. You can see the genius in those early videos. MJ was the original. And when people break out of the herd, they get hit with all the criticism. Opposite end of that spectrum: the ready-made clone-celebs we love to complain about. MJ had to make his own path. I hope he finds peace and satisfaction in a life fully lived.
Thanks for the mention (again)! Cheers and have a great weekend.
Thanks for the link!
Michael was certainly troubled in his later years, but whatever you think of him, he did revolutionize pop music, and was a performing and music recording legend. He still has the largest selling album of all time. I’ve listened to Billie Jean and Thriller in his honor today.
