Exclusive Video: Michael Jackson Memorial Times Square

I remember when I was a kid watching Michael’s Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour, and seeing him take off in a jet pack at the very end. I remember watching his music videos, falling in love with his sister Janet, and listening and dancing to his music. The older I got, the more I appreciated him. To this day, I still think Thriller is as great as ever. I still think some of the tracks on Dangerous and HIStory were ahead of their time by many years, especially the song and music video for Scream, which isn’t STILL the most expensive ever made for no reason.

But the best part about Michael Jackson was, despite his shortcomings that inevitably come with being one of the most famous people in the world, he was a wonderful human being – a service-oriented and respectful soul who put love and kindness above all else. The memorial today and all its tear-filled celebrities and family members did more justice to MJ’s legacy than words in a blog post ever could, so I took to the streets of Times Square to capture some of the magic thousands of miles away from the Staples Center in LA. You definitely want to watch the whole thing.

Also, if you go to 3:45 on this video, you’ll see me in the tan fedora behind the lady in the black dress during Heal the World on CNN when they cut to Times Square. Pretty cool!

Rest in Peace, Michael Jackson: The King of Pop

An icon and a legend has passed away. The music industry, and the world, was forever changed by the one and only King of Pop. Rest in peace, MJ. I’m out and about right now but you can expect a lengthy post soon. Long live the Thriller!
