Gone too soon. His music, style, and performances influenced us all and provided a soundtrack to our lives. Everyone has a Michael Jackson story, whether it be watching Thriller for the first time, doing (or attempting to try) the moonwalk, the sparkly glove. For me, I have many... being frightened watching Thriller (i swear the video scared me until I was in 4th grade), listening to "The Way You Make Me Feel" in one of my dad's car show cars bass turned up high, doing the J5 dance, playing the Moonwalker video game on Sega Genisis (one of my sister and I's FAVORITE sega games of all time), Wayne's horrible Michael Jackson impressions, and singing "Man in the Mirror" everyTIME at karaoke (it's my signature song...solo). Despite his unfortunate legal issues near the end, I always carried a little hope that things would turn around and he would have this great comeback. Rest in peace.
