Maybe the sweetest line was about how he gave you great memories of being with your sister, and maybe I felt that way because I have two sisters, too. They were 5.5 and nine years older than I, though, and didn't share my MJ fascination. Luckily, my best friend Amy (who was an only child) loved him, too, so I had someone around whom to dance in our respective living rooms.<br /><br />Thanks for giving me some good memories and for covering yours. The only other musicians to die in our lifetimes who deeply saddened me were Freddy Mercury of Queen and Teena Marie.Sarah Siegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450372333989477835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2409943253775398768.post-27451077225271066012009-12-09T15:05:20.091+05:302009-12-09T15:05:20.091+05:30I think you said it all in a very correct but with...I think you said it all in a very correct but with lot of emotion and love.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02774636105865916484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2409943253775398768.post-56661553276034632552009-07-19T12:05:27.982+05:302009-07-19T12:05:27.982+05:30Great words!

I loved the part where you abandon Metallica for Bad! <br><br>I feel a certain nostalgia too, even though I was never a huge fan--but he was a part of our childhoods whether you were a fan or not.

He claimed that he had a "skin condition" but according to this CNN documentary that I saw he began to get obsessed with the idea of undergoing plastic surgeries and changing his appearance right after an accident on the sets of that famed Pepsi commerical. According to some other news reports, he altered his appearance because he did not want to look like his father. And according to this psychologist/psychiatrist from Harvard (did he feature in the same documentary?), he suffered from body diysmorphic disorder. So. Poor man. He was quite screwed up. <br>JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2409943253775398768.post-44338150552577093392009-07-04T22:47:03.304+05:302009-07-04T22:47:03.304+05:30Hey! :) That was a really well-written post.
