Rest In Greatness MJ

June 25 is one of the saddest days in music. Its the day time stood still and everyone wondered if the stories and reports were true. Was Michael Jackson really dead? On this day a year ago, I was at work on a lunch break. Many of my friends knew I was the biggest MJ fan around, so naturally, I was the first one they texted. I ran into my job, a resturant, screaming, "Michael Jackson just died!" everyone stopped talking and just looked at me like I killed their child or something. I ran to Radioshack and watched CNN for confirmation. Needless to say, it was one of the hardest shifts I had to get through. I'm going to save all the personal stories for the tribute blog I do for his birthday, which is in August.

I'd like to remember him during the good times. and in those prime years of his life, there were two people he has said to have respected to the highest level. James Brown was the reason MJ got into the business and was his idol. The next might come as a bit of a shocker. Prince. MJ respected Prince because he was the only other artist to make Michael want to work harder than he already did. So with that, I give you the only time these three were ever on stage together. Enjoy. Rest In Greatness!!!!!
