And then he was gone…

Now long drawn out blurbs the net was already full of long drawn out dramatic articles on this last week when it happened so I’ll keep it short.”It was asked what does it take to shut down the internet?”, simply put having the King Of Pop and international icon Michael Jackson pass away. It didn’t take long and within minutes maybe even 1 hr, the net was flooded with updates and videos, and soon there after memorial pages and videos, and even later, coverage of the memorial and speculative articles ranging form those who loved him and those who hated him.

Regardless of what side of the spectrum you reside. Michael Jackson was an icon and the worlds most talented entertainer to date, a man who literally had thousands if not millions of fans in every single country on the planet, regardless of the rough patches the media frenzied upon in the later years. Even in death his records sales skyrocketed one more time as I’m sure they will again each year around this same time. Alas very few of those sales will be from myself, as i already own the original 12″vinyls from when they were 1st released back in the late 70’s and 80’s. Below you will find a few videos of some of my favorite choice songs by the artist who’s memory shall live on in his own and today’s music, but that’s a story for another day.

RIP
