I have been watching Michael Jackson's funeral. Wow....this must have been what it was like for our parents when Elvis died. The icon of that era.
The world really did not know him except for all the weird and head shaking stuff that was reported by the media. But looking at those kids today and hearing his daughter speak was enough to make me cry. Those poor kids. Yes, what a life they have already lived. Servants, huge mansions, the travel, and really anything that money can buy. But, in the end, thier dad is gone and they are left behind missing him.
I can't imagine what his life really was like. Never having any privacy, hounded constantly by people always wanting something. Privacy the one thing that he could not ever buy..sad. We will never really know the truth about all those allegations. The ones that he was acquitted for but once labelled... people never forget.
Thanks for all the music Michael and giving everyone the chance to make memories with all of it. For me his moon walk stands out . My family would act crazy in our kitchen trying to re-create. Such silliness but what laughs we had.
