6/26/09- TWD's Agenda For The Day: They Were Singing And Dancing Yesterday

They were singing and dancing not only in Los Angeles yesterday, because the world is bigger than just Los Angeles.

They were singing and dancing in New York. They were singing and dancing in Detroit. They were dancing and singing in London. They were dancing and singing in Tokyo. They were singing and dancing most likely in Gary, indiana.

People were dancing and singing everywhere.

They were quiet, melancholy, in shock the whole day. But singing and dancing is what they began to do when someone started playing the music of the person that they soon began to sing and dance about.

Because they saw him sing and dance, and were inspired by it.

Yes, some in the back of their minds thought about the embarrassing moments in his life, the humiliating ones. Ones that he may have regretted, ones that have lead friends to leave him or betray him, even though they were never friends to begin with in the first.

And there are many in the back of their minds saying the same, and justified at times, "Why the hell is a celebrity getting more attention then what's wrong in Iran or Afghanistan or Iraq or Darfur or with health care, what is wrong with our American society!"

Even so, there were many (and still are many) who just keep on dancing and singing to not only alleviate a tragic time for them, but posthumously celebrate like they were at a concert watching him.

A dismembered soul can't do things like this. A dismembered soul wouldn't be able to have people randomly sing and dance on their streets.

He was much more than just a dismembered soul. The human spirit is an amazing thing.
