I could still sing along with every word. My ten-year-old knows every word to Viva la Vida, and will probably know them when he's a great-grandpa running around in his long johns, but I don't think it's quite the same. I can't imagine another album like Thriller, and I can't imagine another performer like Michael Jackson.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17674207693314828357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648274871264107501.post-24504835334125632272009-06-27T00:56:02.083-06:002009-06-27T00:56:02.083-06:00I'm still processing how I feel about MJ's...I'm still processing how I feel about MJ's death. He was unique and a music icon and I definitely have fantastic memories of dancing to his songs and having fun with them.
