"and when the groove is dead and gone, you know that love survives, so we can rock forever.."

R.I.P. Michael Jackson.



I know people have been talking about this a lot today. I am still in shock and when I am at a loss for words, I can do is take from others.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record I will share some celeb tweets:

RT @ThisIsRobThomas: i no a lot of people havedifferent opinions about michael jackson,but my twitter site is a place 4 people who loved him

RT @jamie_oliver: so sad about #michaeljackson cant believe it what a legend

RT @coldplay MJ was the best of the best. His music and performances made the world a brighter place. His light will shine on forever.

RT @jamiecullum: The summer when "Bad" came out I bought a "how to" magazine of MJ's dance moves. I was 8 and spent the entire summer learning the moves.
RT @jamiecullum: I never told anyone that before.

RT @MGiraudOfficial: Jackson 5 and Thriller is some of the best music I heard as a kid. I'll never forget it. There's a lot of MJ tribute parties tonight in LA

RT @alyandaj: This has been a devastating and very sad day. First the news of Farrah Fawcett and then Michael Jackson who has greatly influenced music

RT @shwayze: R.I.P. Mj we're gonna miss you.

RT @iamBenLyons: The great ones always go in "3s". R.I.P. MJ, Farrah Fawett & Ed McMahon...you will be missed. Much love & respect to those we have lost...

RT @SierraVE: Keep-a-breast.org & so I don't feel like a heartless asshole, Rip MJ.

RT @LennyKravitz There will never be another talent like Michael Jackson. Many people are saying what a performer, what an icon [cont]

RT @ddlovato: Such a sad day... My prayers are going out to all of the families who lost such inspiring people this week.

I follow too many peeps! but it's nice to hear that others feel the loss too

and of course, my tweet, thought it be a fitting quote:

RT @MizzyLB: "and when the groove is dead and gone, you know that love survives, so we can rock forever" RIP MJ

I still remember his concerts here in Cape Town in '97(?)! OMG that was ages ago. I remember being in awe and so much so that we went to see his next show as well. Thanks mum and dad for that. I am glad I got to see the legend in action while he was still with us.

Thriller is still the biggest selling of all time. He was the first black artist to have a video played regularly on MTV. He paved the way for so many. I wonder what the industry would have been like without him.

He will never be forgotten, never be replaced. His Legend, his music, will live on.
