I wasn't going to post a 'tribute' to Michael Jackson since I still can't believe that he's actually gone, but this illustration is just too cute, so I decided to just reminisce a little bit.
Have you seen this version of Twitter's "Fail Whale" featuring Michael Jackson?
Michael Jackson is Over Capacity
...and I just came across this. Who remembers when Madonna sampled Michael Jackson's song "Billie Jean" during her 'Like a Virgin' Tour back in 1985? {The "Billie Jean" sample is around 2:36 in the video.}
It all brings back so many memories of being a child growing up in the 70s and 80's. I got to experience the Jackson5 as well as Michael Jackson. I personally feel so fortunate to have grown up in the 80's since it was a decade of such individuality, unlike now.
"Billie Jean" {the MJ version} was the first video that I actually remember from when Mtv first came on air. ...And who could ever forget when he first did the 'moonwalk'? We were all just in awe!
Obviously, I'm affected that an icon from my childhood has passed...as everyone is. I think it's because it's a reality check...reminding us of our own mortality. Michael was a talent who kept us all entertained, whether it was with his talent or his personal drama. It all seems too unreal that his talent is gone. *sniff sniff*
p.s. Mikiep is still convinced that this is part of a what will be the largest publicity stunt ever and that MJ will be with us again in about a week or two.
We doubt it, but we can only hope...
