I know what you mean I didn't hear about Michael Jackson until late 2008. in fact the first song I heard by MJ was Man in the Mirror and from that moment on I was hooked and I also fell in love and I used to daydream a lot about Michael. one of my daydreams was wanting to meet and kiss him. the day that Michael passed I remember it well I was sitting in the living room with my little portable CD player and listening to his to his, music and I saw the breaking news report of his passing and I remembered feeling like someone had just took a knife and stabbed my straight in the heart when I heard the news, I cried for three days while watching his music videos. and Michael did a month before my 14th birthday.
