Remembering Michael Jackson |
FakePunts.com -Michael Jackson is my Inspiration. "Unbreakable" tribute dance performance rehearsals
Just this year I was preparing for a comeback performance of my own at the CFL Stampeders tryout camps and other NFL tryouts, as the oldest rookie in CFL or NFL history. Those who know me, knew I was a Michael Jackson dance impersonator, and was simultaneously preparing for my dance rendition of Michael Jackson's unreleased song and video for "Unbreakable" and also "Dangerous", to be released to Youtube prior to his concert tour, and then to Michael Jackson. The last time I performed 6 1/2 minutes of "Unbreakable" for my 500 person employer ABC Liquors in Orlando FL, I unexpectedly passed out the next day and was hospitalized.
During the 4/4/09 WFTV Ch. 9 Story of "Chris Edwards, working on a dream" - 38yo rookie looking for his place in pro football... I am quoted saying hey "if Michael Jackson can do 50 concerts at 50 years old, then give it your shot"!

Not only was I inspired by his persuit of perfection and his love for humanity, but I also felt that I had lived it along with him through his music. Long Live Michael Jackson!!!
