I guess I was wrong ..............

It must have been me, I was too old, I didn't know that Michael Jackson was the star of the magnitude that he actually was.

I watched the memorial service today, I cried some, I was never a big fan, I admired his moon walk, some of his songs were OK, but, I didn't realize the magnitude of his charisma. He touched many lives.

I didn't really know him, I just saw the outer image of him.

I think Brook Shields opened my eyes .... he was a person, who genuinely had a purpose on this earth. I can think of no one, who could have pulled together, the world, today, as his passing did.

I only hope that we don't forget. I remember Princess Di, her death, a feeling that she had somehow brought the world trogether, didn't last long.

Any appearance on this earth, by anyone, who, even for an instant, can pull the world together, and hold the collective hands of the world together, is deserving of something.

Michael Jackson did that.

I guess I didn't look deep enough.
