I think Michael Jackson was the epitome of excellence in his career. If anyone can emulate him in his/her own profession, I gurantee that your work will leave an indelible imprint on everyone, for a lifetime. Sadly guys like this come once in a lifetime, think about it Obama,Mahatma etc etc.
You don't have to feel him, just appreciate the talent,dedication and passion to his music.
RIP MJ.
