R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Last night while at Riverfest, I heard the MC announce that Michael Jackson had passed away. Michael Jackson was one of the 80's stars that we grew up listening to and enjoyed his work. The photo above of Michael Jackson is from my trip to Potter's Wax Museum in St. Augustine, FL last month.
