MICHAEL JACKSON'S STAPLES CENTRE MEMORIAL

i was lucky enough to catch the entire coverage on channel E and before the actual public memorial.there was a private ceremony for family and friends at the Forest Hills Cemetary..and the intersting part would be the sight from the EHelicopters that...the entire LA highway was shut down to allow the cars of F&friends to proceed alone..for a whole 15 to 30 min on the highway..it was just a single row of bently and rolls royces etc...all black....moving across the highway...after the private ceremony , the cars onagain in the presidential manner...made way to the satples auditorium...and surpringly michael's boby was also brought there..in a golden casket clad in red roses...and the brothers of michael...pulled the casket into the stadium as it took the spotlight....
it was such an emotional experience listening to the plp close to the jacksonfamily share their indivual experiences and one message which came acsoss most was that he was able to eradicate racial boundries...he was able to share love ..and he was indeed able to help the needy..and of course touch the world with his music...i gues...thats why he's not only the king of pop but without a shadow of doubt..the single greatest entertainer who has lived in history...
the ceremony had a final words by the family...and i guess..when michael's daughter paris spoke out in public for the very first time hearts world wide broke..she didn't say much but those three lines " ever since i was born
michael has been the best daddy ever
and i love him "
was magic...afterwhich she broke downin tears in janet jackson's embrace..
i had a tear or two..in my eyes..as i offed the tv at 3. 45am and went to bed..feeling shaken..

i'll remeber this..
