First of all I just want to say R.I.P. Michael Jackson...you were the best.
I have grown up with Michael and so have my parents and others in my family.
I don't think that music would be the same without him. (The same goes for James Brown) But I can't help but think about what the next generation of musicians is going to be like without the leadership of such a pioneer in music.
There will never be another, just thinking about people growing up without Michael is just mind blowing. I just want to know what you guys think about future Michael deprived generations.

As long as the memories are there, I don't think you will have to worry about that. Marvin Gaye's been gone for 25 years, people are still influenced by him.

please post this in one of the two MJ stickies at the top of this page.
