Remembering Michael

Steve told me this morning that the Michael Jackson video he remembered as his favorite was one that hasn't been shown in all of the MJ tributes so far. So Michael, this tribute is in your memory. As I was typing this up another tribute was on NPR mentioning how you believed in symbolism and reaching the age of 50, you were about to embark on a 50 day tour as a parting shot to revive your legacy and restock your bank account, then fade away and retire. One other thing I remember is a young Jamie King telling his Aunt Patty and Uncle Al who took him to a Michael Jackson concert in Chicago that he knew what he wanted to do after that...to be one of Michaels back-up dancers. He worked hard and not only became one of Michaels dancers, but is now one of the most sought after choreographers in the world.
