Thanks, Melodie. ; )

Nicole, your smiley face is definitely up to something…

Salle, you’re gonna live forever (Fame!), so don’t even worry about a eulogy.

Why does that smiley face look like he’s up to no good? I was going for a more pensive smiley. Oh well.

I really like your thoughts about spontaneous community.

Hmmm…a lot to think about.

Blessings.

Wow. Well said. And Obama says we’re not a Christian nation. Hmmm.

First, when i die, u are in charge of my eulolgy..(or howver u spell it) second, amen! I have many friends who can’t believe they are giving this much media to a “pedifile” but as I sooo politly explain to them, people that are so interested and upset aren’t thinking of the “pedifile”
MJ they are remembering their childhood and the man that was the best entertainer of the past 5 decades! You rock!

I don’t remember Di (I was too young), and I was never very into MJ, but I like your point. And I thought it was very good writing

Carra and Sarah, definitely sad it takes a tragedy.

Jen, they are wearing out that clip of the daughter! But I’m glad she spoke. Glad they are out from behind the masks. Should be interesting to see what becomes of them. I hope they get some solid parenting.

Colene, totally agree. Why in the world would we debate anything about him now. It’s done. Not our call. I just want to rock out to Thriller. ; )

MJ needs to be remembered and celebrated as do all the other people that ever die. im not sick of hearing about him as a person im sick of hearing the media blah blah about all the things about him that dont matter anymore. ya know? mans dead. let him be dead and remember the good things. its not for us to judge anyone for anything. he COULD have been many things but what is it to us either way? between him and God. not us. lets all just let rumors, hear-say, etc. rest with him.

You have such a great take on things, Jenny. I didn’t watch the memorial, but I caught a tiny bit of the rehash on the evening news. They showed his daughter, Paris, crying at the microphone and saying she loved her dad and she missed him. That moment did more to humanize him to me than any other. Behind all the weird, superstar stuff, he was a man with kids. Kids that he seemed to love and hopefully took good care of. Those kids are the ones I really feel for. What a circus they’re living in. For the rest of us, the music will go on. And the sparklyness.

I absolutely love this post. One sequined white glove to you!
It sucks that it often has to take something bad to happen to make people connect but I live for those moments when the world and its 6 billion people don’t feel so big.
