My students asked me this past Friday if I like/liked Michael Jackson. ... Hmm ... honestly, it was a tough question for me to answer them, for they were bombarding me with things like,
"My mom/dad is his fan!" "My parents used to listen to them when they were children." "My parents have all of his CDs."
But my answer to them was NO. I did make my answer clearer for them by saying that I didn't like him as a person due to some choices he made in life that harmed so many people and children, however, that I did like many of his songs ... especially how brilliant he was as a child! (Jackson 5 ERA) I told the kids that he was a great artist ... composer, singer, dancer ...
It's really sad how his life had to end like it did. You can totally see that he wasn't happy. There are many clips on Youtube now ... but I like this one here. ... he's really got the moves going ... hahah ...
Oh, just one more thing I have to say
... I used to hate it when he put his hand on his crotch ...
