I Miss Mr. Rogers

You know, I’m given to wonder why Michael Jackson and Fred Rogers never really became close friends. It seems that Mr. Rogers was saying the things – at least on his television program – that Michael Jackson most needed to hear.

In an age where cynicism and debauchery reign with unmitigated tyranny, a message of sincere acceptance, compassion, kindness and hope without ulterior commercial or political motives is rare and priceless… and that’s what Mr. Rogers brought to so many people through his television program.

Mr. Rogers, I miss you.
