We all know that on June 25th Michael Jackson aka “The King of Pop” passed away from cardiac arrest. I was devastated and didn't believe it at first. Like many 80's babies I was a HUGE MJ fan, actually he was my first crush... not ashamed to admit it! What more could a 5 year old want lol.  So I'm here not to just proclaim my love for Mike but to let you all know he was more than an entertainer, he was a humanitarian, an environmentalist before it even became popular. MJ was seriously like Al Gore on steroids. Do any of yall remember the video to “Earth Song”? The single was never released in the U.S. but it became a chart topper in the U.K. The best way to explain the song and MJ's commitment to the earth are in his own words. This is what he said himself of the song:

 

“I remember writing Earth Song when I was in Austria, in a hotel. And I was feeling so much pain and so much suffering of the plight of the Planet Earth. And for me, this is Earth's Song, because I think nature is trying so hard to compensate for man's mismanagement of the Earth. And with the ecological unbalance going on, and a lot of the problems in the environment, I think earth feels the pain, and she has wounds, and it's about some of the joys of the planet as well. But this is my chance to pretty much let people hear the voice of the planet.”

This was YEARS before being environmentally friendly was in the mainstream.

Check out the video it is definitely a “good look.”
