Five Times August’s Brad Skistimas checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Thursday (October 29), commenting on attending a showing of ‘Michael Jackson’s This Is It’. The Dallas singer songwriter tells readers:
Like so many other people, yesterday I saw the new Michael Jackson movie “This Is It.” It was a great inside look to what would have been an amazing show. Sadly it will never be seen the way Michael intended. It got me thinking a little bit about my childhood, growing up with Michael’s music. Many people don’t know this, but before I picked up a guitar I was dancing like Michael Jackson in my room at 10 years old. He was my first musical idol and inspired me to be an entertainer. For years I fell out of touch with that love for his music. I’m sure a lot of us did. Several months before he died I had started getting back into not only Michael’s music, but the whole Jackson 5/ Jacksons catalog. Sure enough, once he passed away, the entire world rekindled that love for his music again, and now here we all are going Michael crazy.
One thing that makes me sad is that the media in this country (in particular) tore him down, inside and out, yet, now they praise him. It seems like a very fraudulent appreciation. For me, I never fell into the hype of all the controversy surrounding his personal life. Though we can all agree there were many eccentricities about Michael, I don’t think a person with that much love and respect for the world behind his music would do a lot of what he was accused of. If you watch a lot of his older interviews you can tell he was a shy and lonely person. Yet, it seemed no matter how hard people took punches at him he tried to keep his message of love above it. He’s the only celebrity I can really think of that made those messages about the world and could back it up with their actions. Still, the media destroyed him. It’s sad to me that someone with so much talent, that gave us so many great memories, and tried so hard to spread such a positive message was annihilated by the same public and media that once adored him.

I’m so excited for tomorrow…picked up my tickets from fandango a few weeks ago and I’ve got a large group skipping regular Halloween festivities to go see it with me…can’t wait!
This is it was great movie I could watch after long time and of course there were no documentary movies which could earned this much in first day. Michel Jackson is an undying singer and till his songs get high position in .songs list. Yeah, it was really nice and wonderful.

I finally bought this movie. It was outstanding. Michael was so in charge and so caring and you could feel the love of all there.
This also proves that he was fine until Murray.
