Please go see "This Is It." The power and magic that this humble man had and still has posthumously cannot be explained in words. He lived, breathed, existed for music and I felt his energy and presence through the screen. It was a blessing to be able to see those last days of his life and how intent he was on getting it just right for his audience. He was a true Musical Genius.
I am grateful for the opportunity to have witnessed him perfecting his craft, at his age, still going strong and still intent on giving his all. My prayers are with his family, especially his children, for their loss cannot be fathomed by even his greatest fan. We lost an idol/superstar, but they lost a son/brother/father.
