Michael Jackson: The G.O.A.T.

Damn. MJ passing still has an effect on the music world today that people just didn't anticipate. When I hear people say, "I'm tired on all of this MJ coverage" I have to just shake my head. He had his hand in so much music that its nearly impossible to say "oh MJ didnt do anything for me." WHile parents sat there and filled the present youth with stories of him being a child molester and crazy, they forgot to explain that his musical prowess, down to earth jams, and killer dance moves were ones that they used to practice or even perform at a dance party. We don't know whether he was involved with children the way they say but I do know one thing: He is the Greatest Musician all time. Growing up with MJ's music in my life and being influenced by his generous ways and artistic ability definitely puts him in that position for me more then a whole gang of artists.

So while I hope the coverage on him being murdered, the family being torn, his choice to make alterations to himself, and Joe Jackson acting a damn fool starts to dissipate, I hope people start to look at footage of more then just his music videos to see he was just a regular old chap like me and you. A generous, caring person who just wanted the world to be right and wanted to do whatever he could n his power to aid that...and he did it while keeping flashy, classy, and fly. You can't beat that. Check this video of him dancing to Ignition in the car.
