Lisa LaBelle

Geez...of course, there is always the bewitching magick of "the Moonwalker...the Gloved One...the King of Pop". After all, tell me if at one point in time in our daily existences there wasn't at least one of Michael Jackson's songs that wasn't a part of the soundtracks of our lives and that the man didn't somehow dance his way into your heart and put a smile on your face or that the lyrics in his music didn't make you stop and think about things every now and then--"Black or White," "Earth Song," "Man In the Mirror," and "They Don't Really Care About Us" make a good case and point there. That and during the 80's who DIDN'T own a copy of "Thriller" or "Bad" or both of them? C'mon...don't lie. Most if not ALL of us at least owned "Thriller." His untimely death has left an empty and gaping hole in humanity's collective spirit no matter what you think and feel about this man. Anyway, yes...I cried when the heartbreaking news of his death came. I had the gift of being able to enjoy listening to and watching him nearly 40 yrs.--egadz! So for me, it was like losing a precious best friend. It breaks the heart, and I'll always miss him the most... As for others, just gimme that ol' time 80's Hair-Band style rockin', throw in some Country, and a dash of Alternative style. I am known to enjoy a good dose of Blues, Jazz, and New Age from time to time. Even more, I listen to the "Masters" (Beethoven, Chopin, and Mozart) once in a while too. Just leave the rap and hip-hop out of things, and all is good with this gal.
