3. With all the sorrow and pain in the world today...
...spontaneous expressions of communal joy are precious and rare.

This is a celebration of the fruits of one man's tremendous talent, which will always be with us (whatever his human weaknesses), and I'm laughing with tears in my eyes.

5. Right there with you - crying and smiling right now
This is Michael's real legacy - to ability to spark the spontaneous expression of joy, whether through listening to his amazing music or dancing along.

14. I'm gonna be in SFC tomorrow
Can you tell me, where in the city did this impromptu tribute take place? If we get in tomorrow evening and still have some energy, I might venture out and look for a flash mob.

11. What a trip! Wow.
It really is hard to watch that and not have a tear. The diversity of that group is outrageous. Talk about transcending the human condition. That was people getting outside of themselves.

I really appreciated Michael Jackson's music, even if it wasn't my kind of sound. I loved it. Totally ingenious. It's kind of a shame we have to wait until it's a little late in order to free outselves from self consciousness. He was a very unique figure. Damn.

20. I'm also laughing with tears in my eyes.
I remember riding the bus when I was a kid. A guy brought his stereo on board and started blasting MJ's Bad album. I remember people on the bus bopping their heads. He had a way of uniting people.
