miss you michael!

to say the least, i was shocked when i heard the news. you never truly know the effect someone has had on your life until they are gone. i was surprised at how deeply saddened i was about michael's passing and what an impact his music has had on my life. i remember how real "thriller" was to me and how mesmerized i was by "smooth criminal." some people argue that quincy jones was the real talent behind his best hits, but michael brought life to that music. he gave it moves. he gave it magic. and that was something only he, and no one else, could ever accomplish. he will be greatly missed!
