Remembering the memories....

And there are enough to last us two maybe even three lifetimes and then some...Aren't there? For today the world said goodbye to an ICON, no I'm not speaking of my employer (IKON)...I speak of the man who is probably one of the greatest entertainers of all time and most definately in modern pop culture history. Without a doubt the best of my generation, although some older generations might make a case for one ELVIS or THE BEATLES who were both great in their own right and most certainly had and still have there own followings to this day. But that's not why im here...atleast not on this posting. I'm not here to compare or to "judge" any of these entertainers, im here to pay a small tribute so to speak to the man who is known as....The King of Pop!



From hits like Thriller to Beat It to Billie Jean and all the way back to the early years of ABC, Never Can Say Goodbye and I'll Be There with his brothers as a part of The Jackson 5, Michael Jackson has been a been a household name in the states and around the world for over 40 years. Imagine Michael going to a job interview...his resume would be 10 pages long! Even if he didn't have any real people or social skills related to any job outside of the entertainment world, who would care...the man quite frankly was a freakin GENIUS! Anyone who had even minimal use of their legs was trying to "MoonWalk" back in 1983 when Micheal busted it while performing "Billie Jean" at the 'Motown 25' television special in March of that year. Even though he wasn't the creator of the dance move it quickly caught on and became synonymous with Jackson and was seen as his trademark move. But Michael was no '1 trick pony' he had an arsenal of moves that are probably more so if not equally as responsible for his ascention to the top of the entertainment ladder. So you see he was much more than just a pop singer. Michael Jackson was the total package as far as performers go. Had nice vocals, could move around on stage and get the crowd involved with one fierce kick of his shoe or flick of a wrist. He touched millions around the world, and continues to do so today with all of the hours of video footage and recorded songs he leaves behind in a legacy that couldn't be written up in a HollyWood script.



Although his career and life were not without it's contreversay, I would rather remember all the good he did and how he made us get up and dance and put a smile on our faces for so many years. So I'm gonna go throw on Billie Jean and go MoonWalk across my kitchen while making a PB&J, and just wyld out to the jams of the 'Greatest of All Time'. Thank you for the memories Michael......
