Tonight, I am sharing a Michael Jackson memory. I feel this is the best way, I know of, to say goodbye to a wonderful artist.
Now I never had the honor or privilege to get to meet or see M.J. in concert. None of that mattered. He always,through his music, attended (and still will) many a wonderful dance party.
Nothing can get a party started like P.Y.T.
This genius not only influenced the way we danced, sang, and styled our hair. Oh yeah, when people saw Michael with a curl, the black hair salons were full of us trying to cop' his style.
Well let me tell you, Mr. M.J. also influenced the choice in my first boyfriend. Let's take a trip down memory lane to fully understand........
It was the Spring of 83' (now you know I don't remember if it was the Spring or Fall,but it sounded good), I was in first grade heading home on the school bus. I remember this boy from my class turned and looked at me. In my mind it was slow motion and then he said RMG sit next to me.
As I shimmied my way to Louis Starr. Wasn't his name dreamy? Okay I digress, I instantly fell in love when I saw that he was wearing a replica Michael Jackson red leather jacket. Yes, I believe it was the Thriller version.
I believe that romance lasted all,ummmm, the way to my house.
And that's all she wrote. That was my Michael Jackson memory.
And that's all she wrote. That was my Michael Jackson memory.
Thank you Michael for all the great memories and future ones to come. Your legacy will live on.
Peacefully,
~RMG
