I don’t know why I felt like writing this.
Whatever else he was and did (and who among us really knows, anyway?), he was a great songwriter, singer and dancer.
I was fully prepared to dislike Jackson, but I did like his songs.
Earthsong being one of my all time favorites, actually, a song that can move me to tears.
For that, I am thankful to him. He was a genius at song writing, and I can appreciate that.
So yeah. I’m feeling kind of ambivalent right now.
Rest in Peace.
And if you feel like watching the video (which I think is a real kick in the teeth, and which should have gotten better accolades than Thriller)…
