Remembering Michael Jackson Edition

Remembering Michael Jackson…

Its been a terrible couple of weeks in the news: The deadliest crash in Metro history, Iran in chaos, the Honduras coup not to mention, Ed, Farrah, and even the Oxy Clean guy passing on to the other side.

But out out of all of these tragedies, the death of Michael was the most devastating to me personally. Micheal Jackson’s passing last Thursday took everybody by surprise, but it also gave us a chance to look back and reflect at the wonderful music that he has blessed us with in his 40 years of music. Over the past week, we took a look back at the songs that we will most remember Michael by:

  • Gone Too Soon - This song, sang in remembrance of Ryan White, is so appropriate right now. Even though MJ was 50 years old, it seems like he was on the cusp of a resurgence, with 50 concert dates scheduled, and rumors that he was back in the studio on the horizon. Who knows what the future would hold?
  • Stranger In Moscow - Written in what had to be Mike’s most lonely period, where he was facing pain after his child molestation allegations and the withering of his legacy, Stranger In Moscow might be one of his most powerful songs ever.
  • Remember The Time - For something more upbeat, check out envy’s tribute to this track. Remember the time? Nah, remember the video?
