Title: Dec. 8
Post by: Ron Brand on December 08, 2014, 10:13:59 am
Love is the answer, and you know that for sure.
Love is the flower, you gotta let it grow.

I'd been working the evening shift at the restaurant, got off around 11 or so and drove home. I'm sure I was listening to a tape in the car. Just a few days before, there had been news reports that he'd be touring to support the new album. Since I now had the means I had resolved that I'd do whatever it took to see one of those shows.

My wife woke me up in the morning and told me that I wouldn't be going to any of those concerts. I'd never been more numb, never been knocked down onto the floor into gray and black like that before. I didn't feel that way again until my father died. I still can't play that album. I never speak the name of that piece of shit responsible for it.

A few years ago, a much younger coworker told me that Michael Jackson's death was felt by more people than John Lennon's.

Your much younger coworker is an idiot.

To be fair, Jackson touched a lot of people.  Especially the younger ones.

I'd insert a rimshot, but Jackson may have beat me to it.
