I am still feeling so sad that Michael Jackson is gone. In my heart I fear that his death was caused by an accidental drug overdose. While it doesn't matter how he died, really. The loss is strongly felt: Always so sad to lose these young ones who seem tragic even in life. The list is long. But, my friends, there is still much of Michael here on earth. My great-nephew showed me this video, where I saw
the lean for the first time. Michael created a way to do this during live
performances and patented the technique. Check it out.

I find Michael's dancing truly thrilling. Of course the moonwalk captured our attention in the early '80's, along with
poppin'. OK,
MJ didn't
invent these moves, but he gave them to the world stage for millions of young people to emulate. I think this dance video, to "Billie Jean" shows his skills off nicely.

abrupt end of song...still, great dancing.
As for his
peccadilloes, well, it is just sad. So much talent in a small package; song writing, dancing, singing, visionary and performing sensation.
There is just no easy way to say good-by.
