{UAH} Remembering MJ!

Michael Jackson died this month on 25th in 2009. He is one person blacks ,all over the world,shouldn't try to forget easily, because we don't have lots of role models.Yes, he could be weird,sometimes, but he was our weird. His strangeness wasn't an obstacle to his fans' adoration; it was central to his power. On our farm in Bugerere, as a kid, I used to dance like Michael Jackson,and I remember one relative, Kajoba Aide, telling me that i was gonna become a dancer. I still remember the exact spot where he said this to me(never underestimate the memory of a child).The way he used to snatch up his fedora from the stage is something I had never seen before. Jackson could put it on purely so he can fling it away, briefly masking himself so as to choreograph his own emergence.  

I don't really believe that he molested those kids. I never blamed him for being "Wacko Jacko" because his father BEAT him several times as a child, and that could mess you up. His "Thriller" album was totally cool, since i luv '80s stuff. The Thriller revolutionalised the music as probably Jose Chameleon's "Jamira" and other songs, did in uganda. He grew up a famous singer, so i don't blame him. He was just a deranged dude because of his childhood, I believe.  R.I.P.
