Shinedown releases statement on Michael Jackson
. . . Sitting in a dressing room in Calgary Canada I am more saddened than I can remember in maybe the last 5 years
Call the guy whatever you want. . judge his actions, judge his judgments, and judge the man any way in any language you want
But. Michael Jackson was the best
There was no one better
There never will be anyone better. . People don’t try anymore. .
You can take any pretty loser who can’t sing who has a good smile and sells records and make him a star
Just look at ANYONE on the charts today
Today we lost a part of music history, a legend, and the greatest pop music artist there ever will be.
The things Michael created on “Thriller”, “Off the Wall”, and “Bad” will never be matched.
By anyone ever.
Michael Jackson was the best. People believed in Michael Jackson who didn’t believe in Jesus
And that, my friends, is a legend.
God Bless Michael Jackson's music , his soul , and his legend .
That can never be replaced.
Rest in Peace Sir
God bless your soul.
-Zach Myers & Shinedown
