Hicktown Closes for 7 Days to Mourn Michael Jackson
I won’t even lie.
I am totally upset and in tears.
Shocked.
Out of respect for all my memories of Michael, I will not post any further articles for the next 7 days [except information and memories about him]
Will return later with some videos and my memories of growing up with this multi-talented, trailblazing, enormously gifted icon who to me and most who loved him—was like an eccentric cousin.
From child prodigy to superstar. Wow.
Michael, how can I say goodbye?

Totally at a loss for words. I am saddened as if I lost a close family member. Praying for his family.
amen psalm 100……..i hear ya Lynn….I am actually in tears.
I am in a state of shock!! Oh my God!! Thoughts of peace and love go out to his family. Michael, may you now rest in peace.
He is finally resting. No one to sleep outside his house in trucks. No one to stalk him with cameras anymore. No one to seek him out only for what he can give them or what he can do for them. This man was in such pain that he literally cut off his nose. May his family find comfort.
Wow…… He’s finally at rest. The king is gone. THE greatest pop entertainer of our time. I can’t believe it.
Really makes me feel good to see Hicktowners come in. I know you all are busy but I have not heard from many of you in a while.
Sad it takes such a tragedy to bring folks back in but that’s how life is.
Whew…going to bed. Know my husband is tired of seeing me burst into tears.

I’m in shock. My heart especially goes out to his children. It is 3 years to the date today that I got the phone call that my father had suddenly passed, so I understand completely how they must feel.
I am in shock too about the death of Michael Jackson. When my husband shared the news with me yesterday evening I did not believe him, I thought he heard a bad rumor. However, when I arrived at my girl friend’s home she asked had I heard the news about Michael Jackson that is when reality set in. He really is gone. ….He will truly be missed.
It’s interesting. I was always silently fearful of him dying early. And everytime I’d hear about him being sick, etc. I would get nervous.
He was fragile. Apparently he did not eat much. He was underweight.
Just a sad, tragic situation of a man most of us loved so much.
He is the only celeb that I ever shed a tear for…I am broken up over his death.
I still can’t believe he’s gone. Listening to CNN last night, one of the reporters had the opportunity to spend time with and interview him and Michael spoke of how as a child he long to go outside and play like the other children. He spoke of how his father mde them do the dance routines instead of playtime.
One thing he sort of held back tears on was when the reporter asked him about how his dad treated them, he said ” they were absolutely terrified of their father and how he’d would hit them with a belt if they did not get the routine correct”
One can understand why he was so strange and did some of the things he did. He wanted the things he missed as a child.
Michael Jackson was the greatest entertainer of all time in my humble prejudiced opinion.
You can roll the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis all into one and still not come close to the extraordinary talent that was Brother Michael Jackson.
Thank you Michael Jackson for providing me with some of the most beautiful music that I will ever hear in my life.
Losing you is like losing a family member, and may you rest in peace.
