Speechless….America just lost one of the biggest…

As some of you may or may not know, I was a Michael Jackson impersonator in high school in 1984. I credit Mr. Jackson for any performance I’ve ever done in front of a group of more than 3 people. Be it the Mikey J performances, leading two bands: Butt’er Crunch and the Marginal Prophets. Or the slideshow performances I do. It was all because I used to watch this shy skinny black kid turn into a monster performer on stage.

No one was better. Nobody.

And you know what? I am psyched that I live in Los Angeles, because I can talk to so many people who have worked with him and for him..I’m getting some great personal perspectives. Also, the nonstop coverage on local T.V. makes me feel like I’m not missing anything not having cable.

I’m gonna spend the rest of the night You-tubing Mikey J and Jackson 5 live performances. It’s gonna be a long night.
