Michael Jackson

Obviously, this has been a touchy subject for that last few days- not just for Americans, not just for fans of music, but for everyone around the world. Through it all, I've been delighted by comments and disappointed by others. But today I was on youtube and found this amazing video. You might recall the youtube sensation of Filipino prisoners performing Michael Jackson's, "Thriller."

Well, after his untimely death this past Thursday, the Filipino prisoners have returned with a tribute to the King of Pop. This video was a real tear-jerking for me, one of the first things to make this all seem real. Both sad and inspirational, this video is evidence of Michael Jackson's influence around the world.




I pray for the Jackson Family that all of the rumors of this tragedy will end soon and that they will be able to have the appropriate space to remember Michael Jackson for the man that he was. Let us not remember Michael for his tragic death, but rather, let us celebrate his enduring legacy and how he taught the world to come together, through music.
