Okay, I'm not going to talk about Michael Jackson's death beyond the tragedy that left three kids without a father.
Instead, as many of you readers know, I did much of my youthful growing in the 80's and as such, have this affinity towards all things 80's.
Michael Jackson played a huge part of that. His music and dance moves were popular and emulated, then mocked and ridiculed, but it was always present. I even remember buying my last Michael Jackson song ("You Are Not Alone" cassette single, it was that long ago...) and listening to it on the drive home along I-45.
He did have an affect on me. For all the controversy that surrounds Michael in the last fifteen years, I choose instead to remember the 80's Michael, big nose and all.
I cribbed this from Guitar Collecting, a lovely website about guitars. This was on YouTube, but I think you get the gist: a nice song played by a great young guitarist.
Cheers to you Michael Jackson, circa 1982.

He's good, but he needs to really work on his stage presence. :|
That's a joke. What a talented little fella. Very complicated fret work for anyone.
RIP Mike.
