Michael Jackson, We’ll Miss You
Earlier this evening Doug and I were watching the news and heard that Michael Jackson was rushed to a hospital and that paramedics were performing CPR on the way to UCLA medical center.
“Drama, drama, drama…” I said. “I do hope he’s alright.”
And then for a split second I thought about the tragedy, should Michael Jackson die.
Not more than a minute ago I saw the news while checking e-mail, and I was in absolute shock. I had to turn on CNN just make sure the news was true.
I’ve always loved Michael. I’ve been a fan since I was a kid. I first loved the Jackson 5 (my mom had a few albums) and when my brother and sister and I were younger we’d do our own version of their music and called ourselves the J3 (Jurgella 3).
Little bro Nathan and I used to beg mom to put the Thriller album on in the 80s. We loved all the songs.
I’ve never understood some of Michael’s crazy antics in his later years. I’ve attributed it to depression or an inability to handle his mega stardom that began when he was young. Still, it’s tragic that he has passed away. He was only 50 years old.
I keep thinking of Elvis. Mr. Presley died at 42. I’m a huge Elvis fan, too. In many ways, the two musical greats were similar in many ways. Both took (and abused) prescription drugs, both suffered heart attacks (according to Larry King, Michael Jackson suffered cardiac arrest.)
I can’t even believe it. Such a horrible tragedy.
Rest in peace, Michael.
