R.I.P. "King of Pop"


I was on the metro with Imani when we got the news about Michael Jackson passing away yesterday. At first, we thought it was a joke [we'd heard from a very unreliable source through a text message lol]. Plus, I don't know what it is with people loving to spread rumors about people dying -- Jaleel White [Urkel] and Kel Mitchell [from Kenan & Kel] have had stupid rumors about them being dead spread around a couple years back. But sure enough, it was confirmed. The King of Pop has passed away at age 50 after suffering from cardiac arrest [which IS different from a heart attack]. Shocking news. Almost seemed unrealistic. What!? It's Michael Jackson, he can't die, lol. One thing for sure, is that although he is gone -- he definitely will not be forgotten. He's touched many lives and has influenced music more than people give him credit for. To all the haters focusing on his downfalls and failing to acknowledge his great accomplishments -- get a life. My prayers are gone out to his friends and his family members.
