Michael Jackson Dies

Say it isn’t so!  Pop icon Michael Jackson dies of a heart attack at age 50.  So much music left in him.  Too young to die.  I remember how excited we were hopping in big buses 25 years ago on July 16, 1984 and going en masse from Wichita to Kansas City for the opening night of his Victory Tour.  We anticipated it for weeks.  … Continue reading Michael Jackson Dies
