The first topic of the blog will be about a tragedy that took place on Thursday, June 25, 2009. We lost one of the greatest icons in the music industry: Michael Jackson. As we all know the "King of Pop" suffered a cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles, CA at only 50 years of age. It is not clear what actually killed the pop sensation. It was a shock to everyone around the globe. Michael Jackson has done better than any other entertainer selling more than 100 million copies of "Thriller." TMZ says that when Michael arrived at the hospital he had no pulse. He was pronounced dead shortly after and the word spreaded quickly around the world.
It came to me as a complete shock! I started off hearing he was not breathing when the doctors came to his house. I was hoping and praying he would be o.k. but when I got home, I turned on the T.V. and he was pronounced dead. I shed a few tears only because I couldn't believe he was gone. I may not have grown up with Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 but I did know he was truly AMAZING! His music touched people around the world. My favorite song by Michael is "Smooth Criminal."
