The Legend, The Myth, The Man

Michael Jackson was a cultural phenomenon. He had a great impact on the media in general. His music influenced a generation of musicians that are still performing today. Without Michael, MTV wouldn't be where it is today. Music videos in general would not be where it is today. Tabloid magazines would not be where they are today. Dancing would not be where it is today. And Late Night TV monologues would have been 1/3 less shorter had it not been for this man. I find it awesome that even after all of his troubles of the last 15 years or so that on his day of death he be remembered for what he will and should always be remembered as around the world: The King of Pop.
