That was part of his energy, his vision....If someone else was named The Hardest Working Man in Show Business already, it was only a question of timing. Yeah, and well said...

Great stuff, Nez. I was thinking about his greatness the other day and it occurred to me that during his life, the idea of Michael Jackson missing a beat or singing an off-key note never occurred to me, never came with a million miles of manifest thought. It was just not a consideration, nowhere near the realm of possibility. Such perfection simply seems inhuman to most of us, and I think that sense of inhumanness made it that much easier to simultaneously lionize and demonize him. But he -was- human. He was just damn good at what he did and worked his ass off to get there. And his human soul wasn't like most human souls. He was from a pure realm. He's returned to it now. Peace. Beautiful and piercing. Great stuff, Nez.

The pictures from around the world especially make you think. It's the end of an era. This is one of the best tributes to Michael Jackson I’ve read so far.
