Hiya,
Our town, Concord California, has a music in the park program that goes along with our farmers market. The entertainment is hit and miss. This year most of the bands were not memorable. Most of the acts are cover bands of some sort. (I wonder if cover bands expect people to buy their CDs? Wouldn't we just buy CDs of the original bands that they are trying to sound like?) We have an Elvis who is is very good and a Madonna who puts in a good effort but just doesn't make it worth it. We did see one cowboy band that was very good. We stopped going for most of the summer. We decided to go back tonight to see a 14 piece Michael Jackson cover band. We are so glad we did. They were great. I know this sounds like a commercial, but I don't give names if I can help it. If you E-mail me I can tell you who they are.
Paul's favorite MJ hit is "Smooth Criminal" not for the words, but for the sound. Mine is "Man in the Mirror" for what it says. "I'm Starting With The Man In the Mirror I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change." Him/her, whatever. whether we are talking about the world or ourselves. we need to make the change inside before we can make the changes outside. But, most people are afraid to take a good look in the mirror.
I truly enjoyed this show. But it did make me think about Michael. I miss his work. What ever he was thought of in his personal life. he did have a magic to him. We loved his showmanship. We loved his dancing,. Didn't wall try to 'Moon walk'? Gene Kelley and Fred Astaire commended his dancing and called him the best natural born dancer they had ever seen. I don't know if he was inappropriate with kids, The courts couldn't prove it and I think more kids would have come forward if his did. But, I don't know. I lived in Vegas when he went on a drive around town while waiting for his rooms to be ready. So many people lined the streets to get a glimpse of him, most of them people who loved him, that the police drove along in case crowd control was needed. But on national TV it was called a police chase. A chase for what? There was no chase, it was more like an escort. He was mocked for his personal style (how many people had one sequined glove) and over the top plastic surgeries. His exotic pets, his unusual habits, interests and friends. But, all that aside, his music has changed the world. To listen makes us happy. Maybe we should have listened to what he had to say a little more then paying attention to all the other things in his life.
Rest in Peace, Michael. A peace that was hard for you to find in life. I will listen to your music for the rest of my life. It makes me happy.
