I loved MJ's music. I'm not going to say much about his life or legacy because story upon story can be found anywhere you might glance. I have actually seen quite a few nice pieces on him.
Here is a news show (one of my favs) with an honest and intellectual discussion of his life, music, and lasting contributions. It's a nice respite from the mainstream media's sensationalism and tendency to make a mockery of everything they cover.

I also found a dope collection of MJ remixes on this really dope blog called "The Essentials of Cool."
The funeral last night had your boy a little misty. I thought that was well done with the exeption of Mariah Carey's song. She didn't sound good and what really got me was the fact that Trey Lorenz struggled. Got so hyped when he came out and couldn't wait for the "holding on" high note... nah, didn't work out so well. I loved the kid from Britain's Got Talent, Usher, and Jermaine Jackson. Jermaine! I forgot how nice a voice he has. Remember this vid? I'm sure you don't unless you grew up on Video Soul like I did.
God Bless MJ and Fam.
