Rest in Peace : Michael Jackson


It has been shocking to hear about your passing. You have definitely played a big part in my life. I remember dancing Billie Jean back in my early high school days. You have set the standards and bar and I think no one else can top that. You have touched lives and the whole world felt you magic.

In memory of Michael, I will tribute my set tonight to the King of Pop...
