Michael Jackson

Here are a few of my thoughts about the recent death of the King of Pop:

1.  He was unbelievably talented.  No one can question that.

2.  He was the Elvis of my generation. He will be greatly missed.

3.  Personal issues can trump talent and ability.  He is either known by people for 1 of 2 reasons:  His musical ability or his family and personal issues.

4.  His life is a reminder to me of a couple of things:

a.  Money can’t fix everything.

b.  Be careful who you hang out with.  All weekend long I have heard about how he died deep in debt because the people around him took advantage of him.

5.  Life is short.  Make it count…shmon!
