It is so sad that Michael Jackson has passed away. As a genealogist, I think about it in a family history way.
Just think 100 to 150 years from now, when a descendent from the Jackson Family decides to research their family tree, they’re going to see that they were related to the King of Pop. I think that would be pretty cool.
All the fascinating & sordid details of his life will become gossip to the family member’s years from now. Just like we do when we find out an ancestor was arrested, or died under mysterious causes. It’s interesting to us because it’s our family history. It’s our gossip about people that’s related to us who are no longer with us.
Michael Jackson’s life is one for the history books.
Side Note: Am I the only one that always thought he was saying "But the chair is not my son" lol
I always thought he was saying the chair is not my son.
