Michael Jackson's life imitating art, imitating life

King Michael Joseph Jackson of Neverland

I too was one of the millions  who felt a loss when one of our greatest artistic-super-nova-star’s light dimmed a few months back. So how did I deal with this  familiar stranger? I researched non stop on the pop artist’s historical documents Youtube videos, DVD rentals, Interviews… well everything Media!

I started to see a pattern. What revealed itself in Michael’s old songs, movies anything artistic would then manifest itself into his history later on. Well my theory from observation is that any art that  a person creates famous or obscure, is a reflection of the person’s life. It can be in the present time or in their future, very similar to the law of attraction.

Here are my findings which Im not alone in noticing these with fellow MJ-ologists:

Michael Jackson as the scarecrow in "The Wiz"

In The Wiz,  there was a scene in where Diana Ross just rescued the Scarecrow played by Michael, who wanted to me the Wiz and request a  brain… and unfortunately The Los Angeles forensics officers, kept Michael’s brain for a few weeks after his demise. I havent found information confirming  that Michael was interred with or without his brain. No brain! it would be laughable if it werent so sad.

 Moving on to  Moonwalker, I saw it a few times in my youth and  two decades later I see it again, and voilà more eerie coincidences…

A Smooth Criminal

In this film, there were three kids whom were Michael’s best buddies, they seemed like homeless and possibly orphaned kids; two boys and one girl. He leaves them after a great rescue. They are sad and miss their best friend MJ.  Katie ,the young girl wishes for Michael to come back and he does and life is great again! See?  just like in  Michael’s life or after his death, he leaves his three kids two boys and a girl. I would think that they so desperately wish for their father to  return… and  sadly, no amount of wishing will make that happen.

There will be no other like Michael, and to those present and future bright stars,  it’s not  expressed to take away their greatness… it’s just that Michael had a spot in this world regardless if you loved him, hated him, or if you lived far away from Television and media, didnt know of him,  He left a HUGE imprint. He has place in History that will be remmbered by those that were here when he roamed and entertained the earth, who got to witness  the graceful movements, the beauty of the songs and emotions all through his masterpieces. His life’s work of art that imitated life, that somehow became art that created a life of its own.  A legacy that should transcend media sensationalism. 

Let this be an example of how we have it ALL within ourselves, may it be great, small, and sometimes no so great.  Michael painted his life in a bigger canvas, but it all applies to all of us. We pick what size canvas, what paints and colors we want to use. We make our lives, in essence  we make art. Through the obstacles and especially because of those Hardships we can make greatness from our lives.

With Respect…
