MJ REMEMBERED
Monday, June 29th, 2009
The whole world is mourning Michael Jackson who died at age 50 of “stage fright”…
I remember seeing him for the first time at director Sydney Lumet’s house. They were shooting the Wizard of Oz with Diana Ross and I remember a smiling young boy with an afro.
Later, I went to a number of his concerts and heard the crowds scream as he was moonwalking in Madison Square Garden. I also went to his ranch, Neverland, for Elizabeth Taylor’s last wedding…we never spoke but I saw him from afar with tenderness and respect.
We should all remember him as a great artist who brought happiness and a whole new “beat” to the world! We will miss him but we will have his music forever!!!
