As Matt and I played Whitney music in the car on the way to dinner last night (joining what I assume were hundreds of thousands of people playing her music at the same time), I had a thought. I believe that when we die, we still exist in some form after we leave our physical bodies behind. And to that end, I have to believe Whitney heard her music being played all over the Earth last night as she moved on to the next step. The word “comfort” comes to mind when I think of how she felt hearing the joy she gave millions radiated back to her…
For a long time I was all “I hate Whitney…but I love ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody.'” “I hate Whitney…but I love her version of ‘I’m Every Woman…'” And after hating her but loving all the singles, I realized – I love Whitney Houston! So sad. I can’t help but think of her daughter, who has gone thru so much over the years. I know this is a weird choice for a video to post, but this song is a fucking jam, and this is how I’ll remember her 🙂
