I'd forgotten about Captain Eo until I read your post. When my relatives from Mexico came to visit they kept the glasses (for some weird reason). I still can’t believe it.

And I thought to myself, who is this <i>they</i>? The <i>they</i> are <b>us</b>. And that's just it. We made his life a living hell because he never fit the model of what society deems as "normal." So, MJ was an eccentric, but look at how he changed culture. Look at how he crossed and tore down barriers that no one else has been able to do--no one. Unfortunately, all of us want to remember him for who he used to be although, we can't and shouldn't forget who he was now. If we see the man as we see him now, we see ourselves. We made him. We should honor all aspects of him. I saw a comment last night, I don’t recall where but it read: “Goodbye MJ, they can’t hurt you any more.” And I thought to myself, who is this they?

You couldn't get me out of it! The summer I got the tee, my Mom decided to take us to the pool. I didn't have a bathing suit, so I borrowed my baby sisters. Obviously it didn't fit from the top. My nipples would show because it was too small to cover my chichis! LOL *keep in mind I was about 7 8 yrs old too* I came up with the brilliant idea to put on my beat it shirt underneath. And I thought I was soooo cool. Can u imagine a bright yellow MJ Beat It Shirt, underneath a too small striped bathing suit? Yeah, not a pretty sight. Unfortunately, my mother has pictures to ridicule me. hahaha In all seriousness though, yeah, very sad. I watched a tribute on t.v. last night. It's crazy to think he's actually DEAD. Death doesn't discriminate. Reminder to enjoy life. Every day you wake up is a blessing. =) OMG! The Beat it Shirts! LOL I had one too! I remember I loved it so much, I wore it daily!
