It sure has been an amazing day when it comes to remembering Michael Jackson. One of the reporters commented that the family said about the memorial service that was to be broadcast on TV, “We don’t want a TV Show, we want a memorial.” In my opinion that is exactly what transpired.
Once again Michael brought the world together in a moment in time as he did time and time again through his music. Today the world not only mourned the passing of Michael Jackson, they also celebrated his accomplishments. There was laughter, tears, and many insights as to what was important to him personally.
The interviews of celebrities, fans and TV “specials” went on throughout the day. All seemed to me that the thread of everything said was his influence was overall positive. I think his music absolutely pointed in that direction and his accomplishments through his foundation and numerous other ventures also changed the world and “Made it a better place for you and for me.”
The “media blitz” will probably continue for weeks to come, but today the world came together for the celebration and the memories of one special person, who in many ways was just like you and I. We all have our own special talents and even though some of us aren’t super stars, “We are the world” and we can change the world working as one toward a common goal.
My message for Michael comes from the theme of Bob Hope’s TV show, “Thanks for the memories….”
Finally I think the one song that describes the message that Michael wanted to world to understand is “You are not alone.”
