Well…I was a teener in the 80s. Michael Jackson was an icon in those times.

Who didn’t cry watching his Heal the World TV special? I was on a puddle!

Earlier today, Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest.

Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the “King of Pop” and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday.

He was 50.

Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ed Winter, the assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, confirmed his office had been notified of the death and would handle the investigation.

So long Michael Jackson! I hope the newer generation doesn’t forget what you have accomplished as an artist. (He is not a bathroom faucet
fixer!)

Barrio siete has a similar report.

P.S. I am currently at an internet shop in Sorsogon City…and the local radio station is playing all of Michael Jackson’s songs.
