I feel like part of my childhood just died, as well. I grew up with MJ-- had Thriller on cassette, a replica of that red jacket he wore with all the zippers, and some random t-shirts when I was five or six. The video for "Thriller" scared the crap out of me, and I couldn't listen to the song in the dark.
I don't really "mourn" for people I don't know... but this definitely makes me sad.
