My father has been in radio since the early 1970's. He's always given respect towards musical stars who passed on. Now my father is not the biggest MJ fan around. He likes a couple songs, but most of the time, he didn't care.
But today, the day after we lost our music hero, during his entire radio show.....my dad played 1 MJ song EVERY HOUR! He even called me and asked to borrow some of my cds because his radio station didn't have some of the music. I gave him my copies of Thriller 25, and The Essential MJ. He had his copies of the USA For Africa and Bad LPs. He told me what he was going to play, and what he had already played up to that point when we talked.
I mentioned to him some songs I believed he should play for Michael...and one of them I asked him to play is, and always will be one of my all time favorite songs.......and IMO it happens to be Michael's final song he gave us.......it's on Thriller 25....last track..."For All Time". I felt this song should have been played, it's got a great sound, and it's a great way to display his legacy.
I love my dad so much. Next time I see him...he's getting major hugs from me.
I thought I'd share this with everyone. This is a hard time for ALL of us....and even in this tough time, we cannot let this stop us. Michael wouldn't want it that way. He'd want us to move on, and keep listening to the music. Remember him through his work. We will cry for some time....but Michael needs us to be strong and to move on and keep smiling!
