There's soooo much more, and its a vast expanse of thought that could be pretty much - endless. But, hey that was the impact of Michael's work. <br /><br />As for Momo, since you always wanna be startin somethin, how bout you "Mama-say-mama-sah-mama-Koo-See-your-azz" off this blog and get back to work. <br /><br />LMAO. <br />DMoe aka JJ Evans (that makes Mo Thelma)DMoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15121073476554198739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-50926350510765122232009-06-30T12:34:50.893-04:002009-06-30T12:34:50.893-04:00well said... a very heartfelt and worthy read.

It was hard to do, because there’s been so many. But if I had to choose the one that changed me forever, it would have to be Motown 25, 1983. <br /><br />How many people can say that their lives were changed at the age of 10? I can. Definitely. My mother told my sister and me that MJ was going to be on the Motown Special and that we should watch him. I had heard of him before, heard his songs and knew the words. But he was “just” Michael Jackson at that point. <br /><br />Until he came out on stage, glittery glove, highwater pants, jheri curl and mega watt smile. I was awestruck. He moonwalked across the stage and I burst into tears with amazement. My sister was right there with me, my mother looking at me like I was someone she didn’t even know – a weeping, screaming demented child. I was changed.<br /><br />Later, as I watched the broadcast premiere of Billie Jean on MTV, I was equally mesmerized by the dance moves and beats that eventually helped to break down the race barrier on MTV. Within weeks, my walls were plastered with posters of MJ, and my mom got me a photo album that I could use to collect MJ newspaper and magazine clippings. I went thru at least 3 cassette tapes of Thriller because I played it so much and the tape popped over and over. I couldn’t get enough.<br /><br />Like DMoe, I was hypnotized by Thriller. It wasn’t a video, it was a movie. Experiencing that video triggered something profound in me. I didn’t just enjoy his music and his performances. I worshipped him. I loved him.<br /><br />Fast forward to 1991 and I’m a freshman in college. I’d had several “crushes” by then. But being a MJ fan never got old. It was never “uncool” to love MJ. As college students, we crowded in my dorm room to watch the premiere of “Remember the Time.” I was suddenly 10 years old again. We were like “that man is BAD!” Choreography – brilliant. Star Power - Eddie Murphy and Magic? Whoa. Simply brilliant. <br /><br />I even remember my heart beating fast as he performed at the half time show of the Super Bowl. What was that? 1993? I never could get enough of Michael. I still can’t.<br /><br />I think back over my life and remember the Pepsi commercial with Alphonso Ribiero. I remember when MJ burned himself and his glittery “thumbs up” letting us know he was okay. I remember thinking he was the greatest man on the planet for wanting to save starving children in Africa with “We Are the World.” The memories are endless.<br /><br />Like DMoe said, I am a perfectly sane 36 year old woman who has achieved many milestones in life, with many more to come. I recall all the key events of my life that changed me, from graduating from college, to witnessing my nephews being born – and to living in a time when I shared the earth with Michael Jackson. I can remember where I was and what I was doing during historic moments – 9/11, Katrina, Princess Diana dying, Biggie dying, from when I first fell in love with MJ...and when my heart broke when I learned he had passed on. <br /><br />If over the next few days you find yourself tiring of the relentless media coverage, questioning why there is such an outpouring of grief on pavements around the world for a man who was a tortured genius, just pour over your own “Michael and Me” moments from your life. Listen to “PYT” or “Rock With You”, “I’ll Be There” or “Man in the Mirror.” Watch the Thriller video. All of that will provide a reminder of why so many mourn him so deeply...a man who wanted to heal the world of its global problems, like hunger and homelessness – who was equally concerned with the human condition as well us making us dance. He changed lives, though maybe not in the ways he intended. That’s why we just can’t stop loving him...always.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-64657031018380766032009-06-30T11:49:56.923-04:002009-06-30T11:49:56.923-04:00This was a fitting tribute to Michael.
