Simply Put, The Greatest of All Time...

I usually spend a good deal of time researching information for whatever particular topic I want to blog about before I post. But today is a little different. A lot different, actually. For today, we mourn the loss of the greatest entertainer of all time, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.



No matter what your background, race, age, or religion, he affected us all. And no matter what one may or may not feel about the man's personal life and decisions, no one can deny his artistry. His music is incomparable and unmistakably one of a kind.

Michael Jackson sold nearly 1 billion solo albums throughout the course of his 40-year career, making him the highest selling music artist ever. These numbers are sure to increase with the learning of his passing, as people rush to their nearest record store to secure a piece of his legacy. I earlier stated to a fellow blogger that, "200 years from now, people will STILL know about Michael Jackson." We call that legendary.

I'm going to Best Buy today to find myself fresh copies of "Thriller", "Off the Wall", and "Bad". My plan is not to listen to them, but to preserve them in their orignal packing and present them as a gift to my 3-year old daughter one day when she's old enough to recognize greatness.

1958 - 2009

Now, what are you going to do?
