Beginnings Never End
Amid all the hoopla of the Michael Jackson memorial service, let's take a moment to remember the music. For the music is the thing that matters most to the artist. And the best tribute to the artist always involves the music. Maxwell K. Riggsbee Jr is not a musician; he is a technology executive who grew up in the Michael Jackson era and saw in the little black boy from Gary, IN, the face of possibility.
Beginnings Never End
By Maxwell K. Riggsbee Jr
The Beatles Let it Be in 1970:
There will be an answer,
Five voices rise in harmony.
One voice soars.
Vinyl, variety, animation.
Listen and watch. Awed.
Holding our breath,
He goes Off the Wall,
Brings us a Thriller!
His dance, the Baddest,
Those steps, Dangerous,
HIStory clearly imprinted.
A pact with our yesterdays,
Memories make us Invincible.
We never can say goodbye.
