Here are some random reactions to MJ's death from Casa Afrogeek:
--Frances asking, in quick succession while watching the news footage, "Isn't Michael Jackson supposed to be black?" "What's wrong with his nose?" "How can he spin on his toes like that?"
--Brian and I felt incredibly old when (1) upon hearing he was only fifty when he died, Brian, fast approaching fifty himself, said sadly, "He was so young" and (2) when the video for "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" came on and I got up in the middle of the floor and forced my children to dance with me, just like the old folks used to do to me whenever Al Green was on the radio.
--My mother and sister and I spent all night on the phone singing MJ tunes to each other ("Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the enitire human race...") because we apparently are characters on a sitcom
--Cate has discovered a new favorite song to shake her butt to, "Smooth Criminal"

Wow. My sister and I kept texting one antother other the names of different M.J. songs.
As for the video, I remember vividly. This video is his most energetic, in my opinion. When I hear this song, I can’t resist moving…trying to dance like Michael.
