Very nice tribute to the one and only King of Pop. If only I could still fit in my little t-shirt that had P.Y.T. on the back. Yes, he will be missed. Thanks for this, Cord!

My favorite memory right now is the "We are the World" movement. It was this groundswell of support for Africa that just made me feel all warm inside. I LOVED that song and its tremendous star power. No other artist in that time could've pulled that off like he did. He was doing Oprah long before anyone could say her name. Man, he could dance, sing, write, give, and did I say dance? There will NEVER be another. I've seen the Chris Brown imitation MTV keeps showing, but no one will ever have that MJ bop and swag. Truly. One of a kind. “the common feeling about Michael Jackson in the black community always remained clear: “Yeah Michael Jackson is a weirdo, but he’s OUR weirdo, and he’ll always be no matter what.” ”
