As a senior citizen, who did not “grow up” with Michael Jackson, I have not been paying much attention to all the news stories that have flooded the airwaves in the last couple of weeks. I never listened to his music and couldn’t even tell you the names of any of his songs. And if the radio announcers hadn’t repeatedly mentioned one of his top albums, “Thriller” in the past several days, I would not even have know that either.
But yesterday, I heard so many interesting and positive statements about his memorial service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles that I became curious about the event. Knowing that YouTube.com would no doubt have many videos of it, I immediately opened YouTube when I turned on my computer. And I was impressed. Michael Jackson’s brother Jermaine sang Smile, a beautiful song from the 1930’s that I have always loved. Mariah Cariah sang another wonderful song, “I’ll Be There.” And both Brooke Sheila’s and Michael Jackson’s youngest daughter delivered moving speeches about him.
Although I didn’t know what to expect when I opened YouTube, I must admit, I was touched by the beautiful memorials to Michael Jackson and seeing Michael’s silver casket covered with roses.
