Moonwalk
- Rating: No Rating
Being unaware of anything beyond a handful of songs sung by Jackson 5 And Michael Jackson as a solo artist does not disqualify my observations and opinion on recent events.
Man in the mirror, billie jean, bad, abc, thriller. heal the world.
I have grown up in an age in which media coverage and exposure of celebrity has exploded in sonic proportion and transcended into the hyper reality of 200 foot high metal Michael Jackson statues welcoming an album release in major cities across the world.
Yet, however -
I am simply bewildered and unable to comprehend why Jackson's supporters continue (until his death and beyond) to disregard and blanket cover any suggestion that he committed very serious crimes against children to the point of buying tickets to forthcoming shows where again he was to be heralded as some kind of species saving messiah, prophet and bastion of humanitarian good.
Having a tattoo or a piercing is still frowned upon by some so I want to make clear the fact that bleaching skin, remodelling body parts and although being a 50 year old male of African descent from Detriot yet greeting people in the voice of Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse holds no siginificance in my assessment - thats fine.
But does the fact he invented the Moonwalk dance, an astonishing feat - as he would shimmer, shine and glide across a stage through a supernova of adoration compensate for abusing children?
What would it take for a 40 year old man sitting next to you on a plane to convince you that a circle of hand picked 12 year old boys were his social peers?
Photographs perhaps?
Or maybe a short film on a digital camera play wrestling amongst soft toys...
As long as he can moonwalk to the toilet and back?
The blind faith and stonewall denial - Its a consipiracy, everybody is out to condemn him... Is beyond my power of understanding.
These are strange time we live in.
I am relieved Michael Jackson is dead.
