Mark Schmieder Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 http://www.democracynow.org/2009/6/30/michael_jackson_1958_2009_the_life The story/interview speaks for itself. A responsible adult level of discourse with rational thought trumping raw emotionalism. Both the good and the bad are covered, in the neutral sort of way that a truly professional journalist should strive towards.

Mark Schmieder Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Yes, James Baldwin was an incredible writer with great insight into human character and motivation, as well as a great observer of the human situation and societal trends. I really need to collect his works and read them in chronological order.

d halfnote Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 "...I think you get a real sense of Michael Jacksons psyche with that great Black [or] White video, where suddenly theres the technology there that allows us to see whats in his mind about this kind of morphing together of humanity..." From the lion-growl/synth bass connection to the references to humanity's wild nature to the pan-cultural romp to "I ain't scared of no sheets!" to the Satue of Liberty stage set to the final morph-o-rama, this remains a statement that took Jackson out of the realm of mere entertainer & into an area that too few of those with whom he's grouped tred.Black or White d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
