This is your reminder that in Michael’s case, “separating the art from the artist” would be very stupid because he was a wonderful human being, a generous humanitarian, and – above all – 100% innocent. His art is the expression of his beautiful soul. 😊
Motown 25 the night Michael rewired Pop music but went home disappointed, not because the Moonwalk wasn’t historic, not because 47 million people didn’t lose their minds but because after the five spins he wanted to freeze on his toes and stay there.
That’s the standard, everyone else saw the future, he saw a pose that lasted a few seconds too short. Fred Astaire called MJ and told him how great his performance was, even then it took a legend to convince the King he’d done well.
