Kate Earl weighed in on the death of Michael Jackson on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (June 25). The Alaska singer songwriter tells readers:
Just got home from the studio. What a sadness over me. I had just been talking with my co-writer Chris Rojas about Michael when he popped his head in from the hall and said “You have to come, now.” Everyone from the different sessions was in shock. We stared at the tv shaking our heads. All these dudes were teary eyed. Chris brought out his signed pic to begin a memorial. I picked a flower from the garden… When I was in 3rd grade I was head over heels in love with MJ. My teacher mentioned his name in class and I screamed and jumped out of my seat with shivers. Only the King of Pop could wield such power.
