It was the evening of June 22nd 1974, I just turned 13 and my dad took my brother and I to a Jackson 5 concert at the Forum in Inglewood which featured the Whispers and the Ohio Players, it was the 1st time I attended a concert and it was magical, up until then Dodger games,wresting and roller derby at the Olympic Auditorium was the big entertainment and seeing these TV people in person was cool, but seeing Michael, Jackie, Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and Randy on the congas was like seeing cartoons characters in person, I could'nt believe they were in front of me as real people performing.
My personal Michael Jackson experience was when I was waiting at the back gate of the Shrine Auditorium were a limo pulled out fast from a distance with cameras flashing and I thought someone important is approaching my way. as the gate opened down came the window and to my shock there was michael just five feet from me sort of taunting in fun his fans, the limo spead off and everyone commented how Michael J was in that limo

Poem for Michael Jackson's Friends and Family
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint upon the snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
You feel me as gentle morning rain.
And when you wake in the morning's hush
I am the sweet uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry:
I am not there, I did not die.
