Gone too soon, that was the tittle of one of his most beautiful songs. And yes he has gone too soon. I can't believe that Michael Jackson passed away last Thursday. When I was a kid my dream was to meet him. I never had that chance but the time when I was closest to him was in 1992 when I went to a concert of his "Dangerous" tour. It was spectacular! Best concert I have ever been to! Since then I was hoping to see him back on stage. In 1998 I had another chance. I could have gone to his concert or to an economy exam at my college. I wanted to be a good student so went to class and took the test. I failed. Oh I wish I would have gone to the concert.
I recall watching "Thriller" at a friend's house although my parents didn't allow me to watch it. I remember buying "Bad" and "Dangerous" on tape, then "History" was one of my first CDs.
Michael was more than a singer, an icon or one of history's best artist--he was a humanitarian. He organized the "USA for Africa" program in 1984 to stop hunger, composing the song "we are the world" and joining forces with other celebrities to raise funds for that cause. Later he established the "heal the World" foundation to end poverty. He helped hundreds of sick children. While he was working so hard others made a lot of money accusing him of child molestation. Michael felt devastated. He died last Thursday before his come back tour, millions of people are remembering him all over the world. It is clear that he helped others and made a difference. Yes, he has gone too soon
