8 years ago tonight, I sat in front of my television and wept when Peter Jennings told me that Michael was dead. I thought, “Oh. This must be how Beatles fans felt when John Lennon died.” I was only 13 when he was shot, and in my teenage ignornace, I could not fathom how anyone could be so sad about the death of someone they had never met before. It clicked 8 years ago tonight...I get it now.
I listened to my “Best of” CD in the car tonight, and I got a little weepy when “Never Tear Us Apart” played.
The first time I saw the guys in concert was in 1983 when they opened for the The Go-Go's. I'm going to see them in Charlotte on Februrary 21. I'm trying very hard to be open-minded and give J.D. a chance, but I sure am missing you, Michael.
I hope you've finally found peace, my friend. Thank you for everything.
