News:: R.I.P. MJ

Sad. That's my simple, yet all-encompassing, reaction to the death of Michael Jackson. Sad, of course, that he has passed so early and so suddenly, but also because of the way the latter part of his life played out. No matter what you think about Mike, he was pretty much as iconic as icons get during the last thirty years. I mean, my mother bought Thriller on vinyl back in the day - and considering she has perhaps purchased less than five albums during my lifetime, that is saying something.

Anyway, the song above was/is my jam. In Junior High we'd hang out in hill alumnus Mario "Mr. E" Eleftheros' basement watching videos. When we played Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, I would put on his sisters sandals and get my dance on. I have no idea why I did this, but it's a fond memory, and one of many memories I'll always associate with Michael Jackson.
