I just cannot believe it still. I heard the news while I was on my way to Screen on the Green in Atlanta. At the time I was shocked. I then became sad at all of the twitter post and facebook statuses I read. The next day news of his passing is all over the television but I didn't wanna watch because I knew id be sad. I opted for my local urban radio station. It was still weird to hear the words Michael Jackson died. Later on that day I decided to suck it up and watch the various video specials that were on because they are pretty great videos. As I was watching Billie Jean it hit me. "Wow he's actually gone". I remember watching a taped concert of his when I was around 6. I watched it over and over and over again.I sang and danced along with Mike. I was amazed at how histarical his fans got at his concerts. People passed out!! Looking back on how much I listened to him and watch his videos, concerts, and specials I realizes my core music tastes comes from Mike. He had a big impact on my life and the lives of millions maybe even billions of people. Now I realize why those ppl were crying at his concerts. He was definately something special. A marvel, A MUSICAL GENIUS, THE GREATEST, and despite his physical appearance, he was black like ME!! His life will definately be celebrated without his hard work, effort, and creativity many people could not follow in his footsteps. I WILL MISS HIM! I was just listening to His song Dirty Diana before he passed. Mike..you woked hard now its time to rest...RIP Michael Jackson
