Michael was just supremely cool to mere humans. Because he was just, more. His music still brings joy, almost tinged a bit now with sadness, but I refuse to let that sadness overtake the joy - he and his bandmates made some of the best songs ever and that should be the full-stop. He’s a mainstay on my runtape, or whatever people are calling their 32 songs to strive with these days. His death haunts me a bit, personally, because what he did matters to me and because he was such a Person Who Matters” and so I sort of inherently but stupidly imagined was above normal feelings, but in reality the emphasis should still be on “person.” God bless you, Michael, I miss you very much. You done good. I hope you are at peace.
