Michael Jackson

Surely, the death of Michael Jackson will be added to a long list of historic flashbulb memories. "Where were you when Michael died?"

Well I was in Harlem at Dinosaur BBQ having way too much pork and mac 'n cheese than I needed with Greg and a couple of good friends. I was shocked, stunned, saddened and covered with goose bumps as I stood at the bar watching the news on TV with other New Yorkers. I still remember clearly when I was a little girl trying to perfect my "Moon Walk". Our kitchen floor, which was linoleum was perfect for the sliding technique!

After dinner, Greg and I jumped on the bikes to go to the Apollo Theater. There, hundreds of people had gathered to mourn and celebrate the loss and life of this great pop icon.
Forty-two years ago, when Michael was only 9 years old, he and his brothers won the amateur night at the Apollo with "I Want you Back".

In my pictures you will see people crying, laughing, dancing, singing, remembering and some in shock of the current news.

Thank you Michael for the endless great songs, videos and dance moves! RIP
