July 7, 2009, Tuesday morning in Los Angeles.... The Jackson family left their home for the Memorial celebration of their beloved Son, Brother, and Father, Michael Joe Jackson.
I was up bright and early to watch all this on TV until I got word Michael's motocade was gonna pass near my home in Glendale, California. So I threw on some clothes grabbed my camera and ran out there.
The motorcade came southbound on I-5 from Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills to the Staples Center in Downtown L.A. for the service. Starting with the ramp from Los Feliz Blvd., police closed a section of the freeway entirely in advance of the procession.
Its been pretty surreal for me these past two weeks.
I never knew Michael in real-life but his songs, films, and video games have been a part of me since I was born. Now I know what it feels like when other generations lose vital music greats. But this had to be the most tragic the world has ever seen.
Much love for you Michael! You're a true inspiration and a revolutionary. There will never be another YOU.
Rest in Peace!
