CLEVELAND - Painful as it is, I must talk about Michael Jackson's burial yesterday, which took place 70 days after his stunning, sudden departure on June 25.He will forever be on the surface of my mind, never buried.
The funeral, a quaint and exclusive event held at the iconic Forest Lawn cemetery eight miles north of Los Angeles, California was heavily delayed and then commenced with several luminaries speaking on Michael, sharing anecdotes and remembering the legendary entertainer for not only his historic accomplishments in the music industry, but also for the amazing person that he was.
It was dubbed, "a celebration of life."
Michael's closest friend, Dame Elizabeth Taylor attended as did some of Michael's friends-turned-co-stars in music videos; Macaulay Culkin and Chris Tucker. His first wife, Lisa Marie Presley was also amongst the group that bade the music giant a tearful farewell.
I never can say goodbye.
Michael will never become an afterthought to me. His expansive influence and eclectic style will forever inspire me just as it has to this point. I salute the man for his genius, generosity and dedication.
He spoiled us all.
