The Passing of an Icon/Legend

This may be nearly a week late...
But I really wanted to comment on the passing of one of the music industries most controversial singer/performer!
Michael Jackson.
A child star at the age of 5, Michael was continuously in the spotlight his whole life and he grew up in front of our eyes on tv. He broke out from the family group Jackson 5 went solo and became one of the biggest musical acts of the century! Influencing everyone and everything he touched. Sadly he was plagued by the media for his ever changing looks and the child molestation charges brought on him( you decide if he was guilty ).At his memorial service people paid their respect the only way the could by watching the world's greatest performer on tv.
What really struck me as I received two texts from friends letting me know that the King Of Pop had passed away, was to see how the world reacted.
Amazing how when someone dies people pay more attention and are nicer to them.!>?
The media, celebrities people from all walks off life paid their respect, ignoring all the past and history they might have dragged up.
Just goes to show he really was a show stopper, as news of his death spread Google was overloaded with searches for the truth. And for maybe a single minute or more the King Of Pop stopped the world and brought it together.
One of his most memorable lines after receiving the award for Song of the Century (We are the World). Michael said one thing
" Remember the kids "
So listen to his songs again and if you haven't before try, and remember the passing of a true legend...
