The King of Pop will live on forever. The gravity-defying moonwalk, the sequined glove, the cropped pants, and black loafers – Michael defined my generation. I can document my life by his music. When the news broke of his sudden death, I (like the rest of the world) was stunned, shocked and saddened – now a week later, I still can’t believe Michael Jackson is gone!
When I returned home from work on June 25, I told my 14-year-old daughter about his death. …To which she replied, “Why are you upset about him? Isn’t he the creepy guy who slept with young boys?”
My daughter’s reaction shocked me!
