What’s crackin,
A friend of mine was a dancer for Michael Jackson’s latest tour ( This Is It Tour). Each Dancer was giving 2 ticket to invite friends and family to the memorial. He called me up and offered to give one of the tickets to me and he gave the other one to my teacher Bryan. I was blown away but also hesitant to attend Michael Jackson’s memorial because of the crowd. The Media estimated that there would be a over a million people attending. I felt that this was a once in a life time chance so I sucked it up and went downtown to the Staples Center. We had great seats on the floor right next to all of the celebrities. I saw everyone from Larry king to Nikki Hilton. Everybody came out to pay their respects to the King Of Pop. To be honest it was a little too sad. I believe that the death of someone is far more a blessing than life itself. After all, you can’t have one without the other. I wanted to celebrate the life and the legacy that Michael Jackson left behind, not the fact that he was lying in a coffin. I wanted them to play at least one of his upbeat songs like “Off The Wall”, “Remember the Time”, or “Speed Demon”, but they didn’t play a single happy song. All in all it was a great experience. WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL JACKSON! Thank you for all the great music.
