Wow...
If this is for real I have no problem admitting that I will be a bit affected should the worst happen, which I most certainly hope it doesn't.
I've never had any qualms about admitting to other people that I've always loved his music regardless of the controversy that surrounds him.
I'm having a flashback right now of dancing to "Beat It" in my living room. My friends and I would close my blinds, turn off the light and play
"Thriller" so freak ourselves out. I would beg for it to be turned off once Vincent Price started talking.
Whatever Michael Jackson may or may not have done should never take away from the fact that he changed music substantially and has definitely made
permanent impression on some people's lives because hearing his songs brings back certain memories.
I'm pulling for him....
edit:
Whoa...wait...what??? After I posted I just saw that he died?? Holy cow...
