Yosemite National Park: It’s not just the destination, it’s the journey!

It's a hard question to answer because I love so many different places for so many different reasons.

MICHAEL JACKSON (1958-2009) – The entire world felt the repercussions of Jackson’s unexpected death in June. Jackson was a pop artist of unparalleled achievement whose legacy makes the phrase “international megastar” seem inadequate. He won hearts as the lead singer of the Jackson Five with his brothers and the hits “ABC,” “The Love You Save,” and “Dancing Machine,” among others. Later, his 1979 adult debut album Off The Wall was a soul/dance genre-defining gem. Three years later, he released the album Thriller, which became the biggest selling album of all time. With several more albums released over the past two and a half decades, Jackson created everything from stellar booty shakers (“Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’,” “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing),” “Remember the Time”) to love aphrodisiacs (“I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” “You Are Not Alone,” “Butterflies”) to poignant meditations on our place in the world (“Human Nature,” “Man in the Mirror.”) Following his death, a slew of celebrations around his music were had throughout the world, reminding us that, even with all of the controversy that surrounded his life, that there was never any question of the love we had for his work. He inspired us to never stop until we get enough. (AP PHOTO)
