I cannot believe I am actually writing that Blog post title.
Where was I when I heard the news?
I was talking to a friend when suddenly twitter started steaming up about it and I was literally watching in real time, (and still am!) how within 20 seconds over 2000+ new tweets had been written about the subject, and over 5000 tweets in a minute. This is more people than I have ever met in my lifetime and this many people were tweeting about his welfare per MINUTE!!
See – He is almost ALL the trending topics on Twitter – - >
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, one of the heroes of my youth, has left behind his legend.
A future post may be written on the impact he had on MY life, now I just want to quickly write about the impact he should have on YOURS.
Every now and then I speak cliche’s with a younger generation and they will look at me clueless. Kellie Pickler didn’t know that France was a Country, and many Americans cannot name a country that begins with the letter U (hint: USA), but EVERYONE knows who Michael Jackson is.
However, do you know him like I do, or just as the tabloid, perhaps ‘uncomfortable in his own skin’ star he became almost as well known for as his music.
Owning a piece of Michael Jackson music is not only important in order to know who this incredibly talented person was. It is important because the music is sublime. This is not a matter of personal taste, his music is the best selling in all history.
So, make sure you can join in on the conversation and sing along a few lines.
I collected his bestselling items here:
