An American Tragedy

I am deeply saddened by MJ’s death. Not only was he my first idol, but it breaks my heart to have witnessed such a genuine soul collapse under the weight of his towering fame and be so harshly judged by a cruel and jaded culture.

Mostly though, after watching his daughter bear her soul to the world, I am so sad that three sweet little children lost their father.

I have no doubt that MJ’s music will continue to move and inspire the world forever. I just hope that his message of hope, unity, love rises above the unfounded and ignorant assumptions that darkened the last years of his life.
