Hey friends. It’s nice to be surrounded by animal lovers, it truly is. By the way, in saying that, I’m not implying that I don’t like people who don’t love animals. However, full disclosure, I definitely like them less right off the bat.

I wanted to give a huge shout out to the late and great, Michael Jackson. May he rest in peace forever. Sammy and family pray for him and his family always. It’s easy to forget now that he is gone and his last few years had a lot of negative press. But as we all know, the press likes to sell scandals over triumph, We are not judging that. Good luck to the writers, they will have to live with pushing those kind of stories.

Tonight, we want to bring him back in a respectful fashion and remind people what he did and gave to the entire world. Besides being the greatest entertainer that ever lived, who literally electrified stadiums all over the globe and everyone in it, he was even better at being a humanitarian. Michael Jackson was trying to heal the world way before it was “The thing to do.” He was fighting for poverty and people who where starving from here to everywhere. Singing songs with words like “ If you can’t feed your baby, then don’t have a baby.” or songs like “ The Earth Song,” “You are not alone,” and countless others. This man was way more than an entertainer. He had a mission. Sammy & Family will always remember that and he lives forever in our core. He was the sequel to John Lennon.

More importantly, he was an friend and a guardian angel to all animals.  Michael Jackson was a visionary for all living creatures. Sammy & Family thanks this bigger then life figure for knowing how delicate and beautiful the animals on this earth are.

To the late, great, Mr. Jackson, we salute you. We hope you and Mr. Lennon can trade stories of your experiences all over the world. What a book or movie that would make.

No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed.

Amen. Love Sammy & Family.
