R.I.P. Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

Last night was rough. We lost one of the all time greats in the music industry in Micheal Jackson. I, like many of my generation grew up listening to Michael Jackson, and musically he has had a big impact on my life. In fact one of the first non-children's albums my parent bought for me and my brother was Micheal Jackson's "Bad", and the first mix tape I ever created was the "Moon Walker Mixtape" dedicated to Michael Jackson. While watching the news coverage and specials on television last night, it just didn't seem real. I've always thought the term "Larger than life" was stupid, but if anyone fit that bill it was Michael Jackson. Thank you for all the memories, the music and may we never stop listening and may we never forget the one true King of Pop. As a final tribute to Michael Jackson I will rework the "I Am Peter Pan Mixtape"to include more songs and re- title it 'The MoonWalker Mixtape II" so get the original while you can.
