I was turned off by the circus that followed MJs death, and put it out of my mind. Slowly, it started to dawn on me what was lost, but again, I filed that way. Then I went to see the movie with a friend, and it helped me frame my feelings about the life and death of MJ. I wanted to applaud at the end of every song in the movie, and it hit me that MJ really was not a human being like you and I at all. I am not sure what he was, but what we all lost was someone unique, iconic, genuine and irreplacable. Go see the movie, even if you are a cynic or have been turned off by the never ending dramas, and see if you don't feel the loss too.
