To the King of Pop:

I am thoroughly convinced that, if Mariah, Madonna, Britney, or even some other important celebrity were to die today, their deaths would just be news. Yes, it would be widely publicized and people would be shocked, some would even mourn, but in the long run it wouldn't be as affecting as your death.

I guess this is were your influence comes in; you weren't just a singer, or a dancer, or a performer, or a video game character, for that matter - you were the face, the body and the voice that defined the soundtrack of numerous generations during your time.  And your influence shall continue to live on through your music. And your music shall continue to move the hearts of many more to come.

And even if your life had to end in a tragic decline, a new life is reborn in the legacy you left us with your music.

No other artist, in my opinion, has created music as affecting as you have. I was a fan, I still am, and i admit i may have ridiculed you a few times, but all i have for you now is respect. Iconic, that's what you are, and that's how you will be remembered.

Michael Jackson. Gone too soon.

Sweet dreams.

yours truly,

tofuboy

p.s. yes, your memorial service was touching and moved me, i was actually holding my tears back in our office pantry while watching some of it's moments. Paris broke my heart.
