I remember when Brian and I begged our parents to stay up past our bedtimes to watch the premier of the Black or White video. We sat on the floor of our living room glued to the tv when it finally aired. There were road trips with Jodi to and from college rockin’ out to PYT and childhood sleepovers where we'd dance in the bedrooms and basements of friends to thriller and bad.
In the last few days, others have said it better than I ever could. He was a child superstar who grew up to be an icon. He was damaged. He was talented. He was bizarre. He was influential.To me, put simply; he will be missed.
Below is a collection of performances and highlights from the tribute to Michael Jackson yesterday in Los Angeles.

It was a somber and beautiful memorial. My only complaint/ question is this: Should the taxpayers and city of Los Angeles have to pay for this? Dozens of LA’s busiest roads were closed off, giant screens were erected to provide fans with a view of the ceremony outside the Staples Center and hundreds of additional police officers were deployed for the event. It's estimated to have cost the city nearly $3.8 million to put on this memorial service. Anyone else thinking that maybe some of Michael's 'friends' could pitch in here? OK.. I am getting off my soapbox now.

yeah L.A. should pay for it since MJ has brought them so much money over his career.
