When I was in kindergarten, I remember buying a Michael Jackson button at the Vineland Fun Fair. It was raining that day, so it was in the gym, and the button had a blue background and Michael was in a white jacket (I think). It most likely cost 25 cents, but man was it cool. It was also a really big deal one day during rest time when we got to listen to one of his records, most likely Thriller, (and yes I said record), in Mrs. Hawk's class. These lovely memories, along with good music, have always made me smile with regards to Michael, even as he became, more, ahem, odd. So, I think it only proper that I post a little something to say RIP Michael, albeit a week late. Hey, I was in Dublin!
Of course, if it is the the cheesiest thing ever, that's okay too. But really, what could be better, I ask you, than a little "We are the World?" It is a trip back to the 1980s, (which some of you will recall, were my home), and it really will make you laugh (and laugh) and cry (even if from laughter). But, honestly, I kinda like the song, I love the memories it makes me think of (which may be why I like the song) and for sure it gets stuck in your head.
So, here's to you MJ.
