The news is official. Michael Jackson is no longer with us. I'm shocked, anxious and shocked.  I actually need the night to absorb the news and have something clear to say.  However, I will leave you with this: Off the Wall is my all-time favorite Jackson single.  Off the Wall completely opened my door to Michael and I will love him forever for that song.  It was honest, melancholy, wise, accesible, haunting and a bit upbeat.  No matter how turbulent and complicated Michael's life became his talent, particularly his early talent, remains unmatched and deserves the highest praise.

Until tomorrow...
