Wishing You...

...a double-fisted bacon kind of weekend!
And in honor of poor Michael Jackson, I give you one of my all-time favorite songs. He is pitch-perfect and it always blows me away. This is how I like to remember him best--before the baby-dangling and the elephant man bones and the monkeyshines and the freaky surgeries--as a sweet little boy with a beautiful voice. The part right around 2:06 gives me chills.

Thanks...
I have lost touch with Michael when he became and looked like a freak but...I love his early stuff and his talent is undeniable!
I'll be there is my favorite!
Thriller is the best video...EVER!

Love that song!

Yay for Ben and fists full of bacon!

Mmmm, bacon. I'm with you. Michael was so weird in his last years that I preferred to think of him from the Jackson 5 days.

Oh... missed pics of Pickle & her bacon! :)

I just watched that video a few minutes ago... I still cant believe it

It was tragic wasn't it. I prefer to remember him that way, too!

Love the bacon pic!

I am just mourning what he could have been instead of the troubled soul he turned into. I am just glad that his pain is gone now.

I wish I had me some bacon right now!!
Loved Michael all the way through Thriller, which I think will never be beaten... but after that...poor guy.

Michael was SERIOUSLY talented. Amazing gift.

And the double fisted bacon shot is hilarious!

Becky said...

Oh Jen! I just heard that Billy Mays died too! Isn't that the guy your family saw in California? He was just 50 too, like Michael. So sad....so many famous people this week;(

A double-fist bacon kind of weekend is the only kind to have! ;)

Hope yours was a good one. Mine was ok... but I've got soooo much to do this week, I'm wishing the weekend was still here!

I prefer to remember early MJ as well. He totally rocked the 80's! May he RIP.

I LOVE Ben. What a voice.

I've been listening to all his old jams since his passing. All I needed was a little bacon to make it all better!
