MJ

I was at home with Connor yesterday after his doctor appointment and decided I would sit down and watch the MJ memorial. I am not a huge Michael Jackson fan. His biggest hits came out when I was an infant so it's hard to say it influenced me greatly or that I really knew a lot about what he had done. Sadly, more of my knowledge of him comes from his legal issues.

Watching the memorial, there were two things that had to at least touch you a little bit. The first was Jermaine singing "Smile". I can't imagine trying to perform at an event like that. I had to have some respect for him. The second was when his daughter Paris got up to talk about her dad. If you are a parent, that hits you. For me, as a father, I just had to think about my son being in that situation. Kudos to them for not making it a circus yesterday. Although, John Mayer I have to say makes the weirdest faces when he plays guitar. Go back and watch it. Weird....
