we’ve moved.

This is really dope.

Hi curioustribe:

Why hasn’t anyone written about Michael yet?

I suppose it’s a pretty leaden task, and I’m certainly not saying that I’m qualified to write the bill. He was the King of Pop—still is. And, I doubt that there is a person in our generation who has not been affected by Michael’s art. Or, by other artists (nay, people) drawing influence from him and his work. There must be something to say, or is it all on twitter and facebook?

I’m studying abroad in Guatemala, and I learned yesterday that MJ was quite an icon for many here in Xela (aka Quetzaltenango). His audience includes half a century of ages. Not only was he revolutionary as he propped open the door for [racial] diversity on MTV; Michael Jackson is timeless.

Last night in Xela, I joined world in remembering MJ at the local watering-hole Ojala’s own tribute. As I lay in bed tonight, I youtube-search song after song because I’ve become an MJ fan in the last 48 hours. I only now realize what I missed while he was alive, and I admire him more than I could have imagined three days ago.

Warmly, Angela
