Michael Jackson: Our Icon Centric (BET) tribute

Centric ran this wonderful tribute on Sunday. It is short, but probably one of the best ones I have seen. So many small gems in there- some I have seen before, but they are still sweet. Very funny how Michael Beardon talks about him and MJ discussing grits (this is so funny to me: hubby is from the South and we have grits discussions- how to eat them - all the time). Being from Europe, I had to be initiated into the grits culture- but I am in it, now. I LOVED Michael's the interview clips. And the images from the Ebony shoot (at the Brooklyn Art Museum) had me drooling as always. Part 1: Part 2

I agree, BJ.  This is one of the best tributes that has ever been done for Michael.  It is no secret that Ebony magazine remained a friend to Michael Jackson throughout his career.  This one media outlet that he could always return to time and again and feel right at home.

Speaking of grits, as a child, I remember my parents saying how they hated to eat breakfast at California restaurants because they did not serve grits.  What--No grits?  Them's fighting words.  LOL!  Yes, indeed they are a very big deal to Southerners--or as in Michael's case, chidren born outside the South parents who have migrated.

This was lovely!  I'm glad Centric is out there even though I can't get it in my channel line up.  I agree, Ebony always supported Michael, unlike osme other outlets that used his name and face to sell issues.
