The King is dead, long live the King...

I apologize for my absence. I have been moving for the past week or so making my opportunities to post somewhat limited. That said, I felt the need to chime in here.

This stands out particularly for me because, I think for many from Detroit, no matter how strange Michael Jackson became or how old he got, he remained that same ten year old that set the world on fire with his brothers. As is well covered in this piece from the New York Times, his star had fallen since the late 90s. But don't ever forget that through all the sideshows and drama, the man was a musical genius and that will live on.
