I mean, Michael Jackson has been part of my life ever since I can remember. I remember watching the Jackson 5 on TV, listening to their music when growing up, the movie Ben (about the killer rat) was the first movie I ever saw in a theater, you can't not like some of his music and it was huge when I was in my 20s and listening to music, his videos were amazing, his sense of style was memorable and influential, he has been a constant source of entertainment to the media and so whether you actively followed his controversies and face changes or not, you couldn't avoid knowing about them. He was kind of like smoke in the sense that there is a source of the smoke, but even if you weren't near that source, you still sense it and smell it and something of it lingers long after the smoke has actually cleared.
So how about you all? Does this have any meaning to you other than just a famous person dying?
