WORD!

 

"Although himself frequently a target of guerrilla decontextualization, a major part of the meaning of Michael Jackson’s life was to help balance the accumulation of horrors with something closer to love in its most empowering and healing sense.
His presence in the world was a powerful ingredient within the overall antidote to the mega-tons of despair that can weigh human souls so far down that for millions (if not billions) life on earth feels more and more like death in hell. His voice remains part of the antidote. That’s antidote as in: anti-hatred, anti-war, anti-ignorance, anti-abuse, anti-oppression, anti-prejudice, anti-bigotry, anti-fear.
And just to be clear, to speak of Jackson’s voice is to speak of more than the acoustic timbre that radiated like vibrating sunlight from his lungs and heart and throat. It is to acknowledge that quality of genius for giving, living, serving, teaching, loving, exemplifying simplicity, and creating–– that comprised the essence of everything he strived to become.
For millions, the devotion to MJ is less about dedication to the singer per se than it is to the principles which he battled so admirably to embody: generosity of spirit, perseverance, aesthetic beauty, and artistic excellence. If musical entertainment and philanthropy were sports, Jackson would have been an Olympian"

Pain For Michael

Special interest doctors surrounded this man. He never stood a chance. The fact he attended rehab, now alleged to have received a Narcan implant, and tried to ween off the drugs MULTIPLE TIMES as proven through this wrongful death trial against AEG shows, he truly tried to live off drugs and didn't use them for a euphoric high. I can't imagine his pain!

He fell 37 feet on stage and damaged his back to top all this off. No matter what people say, MJ wasn't a classic addict. He had severe problems paired with his addiction. He was a typical pain patient. To say he was a junkie means to ignore all of his VERY real ailments that have been laid out in the court of law.

How did we let this incredible human being slip away?
