A friend invited me to go see MJ the Musical yesterday evening.  I didn’t know much about the show but decided to go.  Show turned out to be wonderful!!!  It was a reminder of old Jackson 5 songs, like “ABC” and “I Want You Back”, a lot of Michael’s personal hits like “Human Nature” and “She’s Out of My Life”, as well as some other popular songs.  The musical follows Jackson’s life up to his 1992 Dangerous Tour, mainly as a performer and hints at (but doesn’t dive into) some of the issues that came up during his life as “The King of Pop”.  I remember loving his music but becoming distracted by all the stories and allegations that came up against him.  I found myself not paying attention to his music as much and instead focusing on the negative press.  I realized last night that I miss his music and how some of his songs touched my life.  I know that we will never know the absolute truth behind all the “mysteries” of Michael Jackson this side of heaven, and we don’t need or have to.  Not knowing doesn’t affect our lives in any way and shouldn’t stop us from enjoying the music he left behind.  I can’t wait to listen to “Thriller” for Halloween tomorrow!!!
