Your thoughts about MJ are refreshing. Indeed, when certain people die that we didn't really know but felt like we knew on a certain level, it hits home and is very powerful. Often times it's easier for us to process the death of someone who is not close to us. Bravo for your candor. Don't feel guilty about anything, all of your emotions are valid and good. I love your honesty. Your take on life is fascinating.

Damn! It feels good to read someone echo my feelings about MJ (although for me it was being able to sing like him not the dancing). With 75% of the people around me spouting 'good riddance to the child molester', which has just made me angry. (I could go for pages on that one - but I won't). I'd simply like to say - Thank You - for being the only person so far to validate my feelings about him. On a separate note - I find I am hooked on your diary and therefore you must write more often. Leaving me 4 days (FOUR DAYS!!) with no Jim diary was cruel! :) Hope you feel better soon my friend! K

I do feel sad about Michael Jackson. I can't imagine living his life...always in the spotlight, never knowing who to trust. And was he a child molester? I don't think we really know (although I definitely think it is always good to believe what children say re: what happened) I think the money swirling around THAT episode will forever cloud the facts. Anyhow...I like your perspective.

Yes, definitely I would want to hear more about your correspondence with Mr. Pupo. I didn't know you were still in touch with any of them.

Hi Jim, thanks for our IM conversation, some of which focused MJ. I am surprising myself by how affected I've been by his death. For the last week I've been composing something to post on my blog (even though I have, like, two readers maybe!). Like you and so many others, I grew up with his music, loved much of his music (at least through Thriller) and was saddened by his slow but steady decline. I recently saw a performance video for the song "Stranger in Moscow" from his 1996 album "HIStory," and it was brilliant--made me feel bad that by then I was competely ignoring him. I hope he is resting in peace.
