      <![CDATA[A few years back I met a professor named Seth Clark Silberman who was hosting a conference at Yale on MJ in the media. Among the fascinating things he told me were: MJ had the pics taken of himself in the hyperbaric chamber and had employees send them to tabloids, he also spread the word about buying the Elephant Man's remains, all as a lead-up to the "Leave Me Alone" video. He'd also spoken with several people who had heard his real, several-octaves-deeper speaking voice. If this is to be believed he had a huge, self sabotaging hand in creating his weirdo alien myth.

    Thriller and Bad are truly essential albums.

      <![CDATA[He was like a ghost while he was here. :(  
    
    Ghostboy 
    
    Shoulders rolling,
    Hands flat like fins
    Slicing air, in defiance 
    Of everything 
    But the beat--
    
    A boy from Gary
    Never stopping
    The hoping, it&acirc;&#128;&#153;s there
    The wide-eyed wonderment 
    Thrilling us  
    
    We couldn&acirc;&#128;&#153;t stop wanting 
    More of you 
    And you opened yourself 
    Because someone asked, 
    And you were earnest in reply 
    And pure
    And pale like a geisha
    A face constructed,
    Crumbling skin like the surface of the moon 
    You could walk on
    
    And we watched,
    It *was* the watching, 
    And the clucking of tongues,
    And the mean words 
    That drove you away
    I&acirc;&#128;&#153;m convinced we killed you, 
    Michael. 
    
    Fifty years a dream, or a life, 
    You were like a ghost that was a boy 
    When you were here,
    And it seems unreal 
    Because of everyone 
    You were the one 
    That seemed like you&acirc;&#128;&#153;d never go,
    That it would never happen to, 
    That you&acirc;&#128;&#153;d never stop,
    A pretty young thing 
    Forever alive 
    In our souls.

      <![CDATA[Agreed. And I think this is one case where the cliche truly applies. Jackson, if his biography is to be believed, and his outward appearance (as a reflection of his interior existence) taken into account, is definitely in a better place. R.I.P, easy as 1,2,3...

      <![CDATA[I remember one day when I was working upstairs at Shaman Drum books I heard music playing down on the street and looked down to see "Michael" in the small traffic island at State and Liberty busting moves left and right. The spot was barely big enough for one person to stand (and dance) on, and traffic swerved frighteningly close on all sides.  But he never flinched, he might as well have been dancing in his bedroom.  I sat there on the window ledge watching for a good ten minutes.  It was one hell of a show.
