(Goodbye Sweet Prince)

I just got back from doing our Nurse promos tonight and not surprisingly the entire city still seemed to be in a collective state of shock from the sudden passing of the King of Pop.   Just like everybody else I tried my best to drown my sorrows in a bottle of McGillicuddy, but it wasn’t enough. I just couldn’t shake the overwhelming feeling of grief that came with his death. But it wasn’t just that. It was also a sense of desperation and helplessness that plagued me. What will become of this thing we call music? How will we survive without the King of Pop? Who will guide us into this new century? So as every radio station in the country played their MJ tributes I found my self sinking lower and lower into the abyss. But then out of the corner of my eye I spotted a blue beacon of light on the Horizon of Marina Bay and suddenly it all made sense. It was God’s not so sublte way of reminding me that the reason he chose to take Michael from us now is he has already been given us his replacement/savior in the form of Adam Lambert. Of course! How could I have been so blind?  After all Lambert’s rise from obscurity this season on American Idol can only be compared to a Phoenix rising from the Ashes.   So fear not my friends.  We are all in good hands  . Just follow the blue beacon of light like I did and you’ll know it’s not a Mad World after all..
