Do you remember the time?

So, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson died today. Farrah was a bit before my time...but Michael has been such a big part of life for me, it's hard to believe that he is gone. I remember, when I was 6 years old I watched Motown 25: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow on TV at my parent's friends house. They had gone out to dinner, and I was watching with their son Kendall. I was awestruck by the performance I saw that night, the debut of the moonwalk. I tried to do that damn dance move all freaking night. My 6 year old legs weren't digging it, but I think from that moment on I was always singing and dancing around my house. He was a legend, and icon, and despite what he turned in to in his later years he truely does deserve to be remembered as such.

So thank you for the memories Mr. Jackson, you will be missed.
