We were woken up this morning (literally, on the radio alarm) to the announcement that Michael Jackson, legendary pop icon, had died.  This is truely a sad day for music.  Despite a turbulent past few years, Jackson is credited with a fine list of musical history, which includes the biggest selling album of all time, Thriller.

I expect that many people have appeciated his music over the years, and many still will, long after today. 

So RIP Michael Jackon.
