....Man....(sigh)....

Spanish CNN...

Can't recognize but a few words. Looked up. Pictures. Video. The name. Michael Jackson. Look up again. A body bag. No. Maybe I'm reading this wrong.

Turn to English CNN...

"MICHEAL JACKSON DIES"
1958-2009

Mouth opened for one full minute.

Drop the guitar that I was holding.

"iQue paso Estefany! Esta bien...Esta bien...." Spanish family keeps asking questions.....

After an hour of shock. My first thought:

How sad. He gave his everything to the world. What did he get back. Lousy media coverage mixed with lies. You all got your money. What more did you bastards want. You even got the world to forget his name and call him "Wacko-Jacko" instead. But I don't blame any of you. Look at what his own father and brothers did to him. Even his babysister. Couldn't even get love from his family (minus Janet and Mom)........Yet, he continued to give. The most selfless person I've ever seen in this lifetime. He was no longer a person, but a character. A tragic character.

I believe that God used him. He wasn't a human being, but a message. A story, or a parable if you will. Music was just part of it. TRY to look at the story behind the music. The story of a man who gave all and got nothing in return. But loved anyway. Never once got on TV and trashed those who so vehemently lied on him. And if anybody had cause to lash out. It was this man.

Let his life be a lesson to us all....I won't tell you what the lesson is because we all must draw our own conclusions....But learn from his story. It was on display for the WORLD to see.......

Would love to say Rest In Peace Mr. Jackson. But sadly, he'll never get that opportunity....Even in death, he can't escape the cameras, the media, the criticism.....If I were him. I would have longed for death sooner....He will be missed by those of us who loved him in all SINCERETY......


Peace.
