This is about the hot topic of the Day Michael Jackson's death. I must say even growing up in the 80's and being strongly addicted to music I found myself surprised that I didn't feel anything at the news.

I talk a bit about him then tie him into another, still living, 80's icon Hulk Hogan saying I probably won't feel much for him either. This is no slap at the two's accomplishment, its just that when I think about it I don't get any reaction.

Using wrestling I talk about some deaths that have and will affect me in some way, related mainly to strong memories, the one that even gets me now is seeing Rowdy Roddy Piper's reaction when he won the Intercontinental Championship (see the match here).

Feelings are tricky things, I don't know if there ever would've been a time Michael's death would've affected me, I'll still always love his song Thriller though and am thankful he made it.
