Donny was cool, but Michael was my heart and yes I had his pictures became wallpaper during the 70s. I think I was a bit obsessed with him 😂 not the type that would faint and cry at a concert, but the type that studied his voice and dance moves to perfection. After the Pepsi accident, It was so painful to watch him gradually disappear. I sometimes wish he had done a Thriller concert and retired. He just might still be here. Life really sucks sometimes, for every good or amazing thing we have or accomplish, there's an enormous price to pay. And this is true for everyone. 😢 Forever, Michael❤
