Michael Jackson passed away yesterday. I cried driving home from work as all the radio stations played his songs. When I got in the door, I told my mom that Michael Jackson died. Kaia asked me who Michael Jackson was. I told her that he was a great musician. How else can you explain to the younger generation who this legend is?
Today, I was watching The Jackson 5 sing "I'll Be There" on youtube. My daughter ran over and excitedly exclaimed, "I know that song!" It's one of the songs on her Wii Music games. After watching The Jackson 5 sing it, I found a clip of the grown Jacksons singing it on their Victory tour, and told her that that man singing is that boy grown up. (I also had to show her Jermaine because she was asking about him, too). I then showed her the "Beat It" video and she smiled and remembered it from Guitar Hero.
My five year old already knew The King of Pop's music.
