I was totally enthralled with this article and the series of videos they had attached to it. It's about the origins of the moonwalk made famous by Michael Jackson - no, he didn't invent it:

Sheri_Oz: 03/25/2013 - 05:13 AM The "moonwalk" is still mystifying to me. I did know that Jackson was not the one who invented it, but I didn't know the rest of the story. |

WOW and I thought M.J. gave birth to the moon walk. It is an amazing dance. Katie McMurray

I just spent several hours watching Michael Jackson interviews with Oprah... just wow... I always respected this guy, he is the embodiment of what it takes to truly be epic in your career- let's not talk about the idiots who make up stories and the tabloids, I don't believe a lick of any of it- if everyone worked as hard as he did we'd already be on mars driving dune buggies...(off topic) although a post on HP has some compelling evidence that there is already a secret colony on mars and a transporter to get there- they say Obama has been there, someone taped it but who knows whats real anymore! interesting reading) Also Michael Jacksons music has always inspired me , given me energy, and all around made me want to take action, just the beats alone wake my brain up even today- I've heard thriller probably thousands of times not including videos, and I still love it... I have his discography (entire collection), and after watching that I put it on my phone to listen to when I'm out and about... It's amazing how much you can do with a single post.... rather how much you inspire in others in a single post- most of the time you don't see it... but it's there... people smiling, watching a movie/video they wouldn't have and there have been posts here that swayed my entire day into a different lucrative direction... Keep these great posts coming! |

Great post, Jerrico. I have also always loved listening to Michael Jackson - he and the Beatles are probably the only music my daughters and I agree on. The other thing I thought as I read that article and watched the videos is thinking about what a fantastic wizzley article it would have made. Also, with all the junk that's on the Internet, it is really wonderful to find a pearl. So it was inspiring for me in more ways than one. (Is that what you meant?) |
