Although I wasn't one of Michael Jackson's crying fans at his live shows that I managed to watch endlessly on VHS, I would've given anything and everything as a little girl, just to see him perform. One of my fondest memories of Michael came from Captain EO at Disneyland, a 3D show, uniting all different types of people, technology, animals, etc., on a mission to free people under a cold-hearted ruler.

     Sounds trite and cliche, but to me, even as a child, it felt like this was the epitome of Michael Jackson's mission as an artist, from Day One. With a past as fragile and broken as his, Michael had so much to offer, that the world fell in love with him. Literally, THE WORLD.

     Thank you Michael, for being one of my biggest inspirations, and despite any short comings, still managed to teach the world to be humble, love one another, and fulfill a purpose.  The video below is a clip from the Captain EO show...with the song, WE ARE HERE TO CHANGE THE WORLD. I love this song, I love what it stands for, and I love Michael Jackson for every last inch of his soul that he poured into his art. 

You will be missed Michael. RIP 6.25.09



Just another tiny glimpse of his impact...
