RIP MJ

I was never a huge Michael Jackson fan but there is no doubt that he changed the world. It's crazy, when you think about it.. How one man's art can impact so many people. He leaves behind a HUGE legacy with plenty of dance moves and music for us to remember him by. For me, the "Off The Wall" record was the best.
