Michael, "tutto qui".

L’ho amato, l’ho odiato. L’ho amato. L’ho giudicato. Non l’ho capito. L’ho odiato. L’ho amato. E cantato, e ballato. E strillato fino a non avere più voce. Avevo 12 anni, è stata la prima cassetta che ho comprato. Thriller. Michael Jackson.

Gli dedico questo, gli faccio la pubblicità che non gli ho fatto quando lo vedevo sbattuto su tutte le prime pagine dei giornali e dicevo che se fosse morto non mi sarebbe dispiaciuto.

Ero a New York quando lo hanno trovato senza vita. Quella notte non sono riuscita a dormire. Ogni macchina che passava era sintonizzata solo sulla sua musica. Mulberry street avvolta in Billy Jean. A tutto volume. Biciclette con radioline a palla. Ragazzi che imitavano il suo moonwalk in mezzo alla strada.

Guardo questo trailer del film(che già segna il tutto esaurito e non c’è da domandarsi perché) e penso che dopo averlo odiato e amato e odiato, lo amo.

28 ottobre nelle sale di tutto il mondo. Solo per due settimane. Poi calerà il sipario. This is it. Tutto qui.

Real Education Reform!

Real Education Reform!

 

We tell our children we are in a dire situation and if you quit school you quit on your country.  We tell them they must work hard to be successful.  I am sorry but that message should be meant for the parents and not the children. We live in a society of obese children, whereby fun is being on a computer.  We test our children out of school instead of encouraging them to spend that extra two or three years in high school, like if there is a rush to force them into adulthood and because of the rush job we are a nation of late blossomless incarcerated people.  

 

We tell them to compete against the world, yet we pit them against each other.  That is the problem I have with these non military experienced political leaders, you do not understand real teamwork.  We should be teaching our children to love first and through love of their neighbor as a team they can excel. 

 

We live in a society whereby everyone wants to be the chief, even without leadership qualities, because the Indians are not compensated properly, so it is all or nothing in America, whereby executive to employee salaries are too disproportionate.  And we call this success?  Is keeping our brother man down so we can share the pie with the devil truly success?

 

Let me tell you about something learned in the military, it is called teamwork.  I also learned this in the little league baseball and basketball teams.  Do these fat kids even have gym class anymore?  We say more school and less summer, I remember when the summer meant sports or work both which were good ethnics.

 

But we have kids now with nothing to do but join gangs during summer vacation and dance on the subways and sell candy and we talk about improvements.  I know of a man who worked hard all his life, had not a childhood and was rich as can be and he died at 50 years old.  His name was Michael Jackson.  You want to reform education?  Implement the Michael Jackson Act that guarantees every American child a childhood and not hard labor in the disguise of education.

Princess Diana and Michael Jackson unlawfully killed?

  WHY DID POLICE HIDE DIANA DEATH LETTER?

Source: Sunday Express, 26th September 2009

THE three most senior police officers who investigated the death of Princess Diana were wrong to withhold vital evidence from the French authorities, in which she revealed her fear of being killed in a staged car crash, a top lawyer said yesterday.

 Former Metropolitan Police Commissioners Lord Stevens and Lord Condon, and then-Assistant Commissioner Sir David Veness, hung on to a note expressing the Princess’s beliefs for three years, without alerting the French.

The Daily Express now understands that a lengthy legal battle could follow in France to determine why the officers failed to hand over the note.

One source close to the case said: “Anyone who has lost a child in these circumstances would want to know why this note was not made public so the matter could be thoroughly investigated.

“Under French law there is still until 2018 for the matter to be brought back before a court and there is mounting pressure to make these officers explain why the note was not made public.”

Scotland Yard failed to tell the French the contents, or even the existence, of the extraordinary note – written by Diana’s divorce lawyer Lord Mishcon after a ­conversation with her in 1995.

The letter stated: “Efforts would be made if not to get rid of her (be it by some accident in her car, such as a pre-prepared brake failure or whatever)…at least to see that she was so injured or damaged as to be declared ­unbalanced.”

Lawyer Michael Mansfield, who represented Mohamed Al Fayed during the inquest into the deaths of his son Dodi and the Princess, yesterday told the Daily Express that reasons given by officers for not revealing Lord Mishcon’s note did not stand up to scrutiny.

He said: “They say two things. One, that they didn’t do it at the time, but they did do it later. They did eventually hand it over but three years down the line. Had they handed it over to the French ­initially, they would have been able to investigate properly.”

Mr Mansfield added: “The police secondly argue that they didn’t hand it over because of confidentiality with respect to Lord Mishcon.

“All they needed to do was say to the French, ‘We have some information, we have a note that we can’t tell you the details at the moment, but you need to know’.” Last night a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: “All these issues have been thoroughly dealt with at the inquest.”

Diana told Lord Mishcon in October 1995 of her fears of a plot to kill her in a car accident, which Lord Mishcon jotted down.

Shortly after the Princess’s death in August 1997, he passed this note, in strictest confidence, to the police following a meeting with then-Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Condon and Assistant Commissioner Sir David Veness. But the note was never handed to the French authorities. Nor were its contents disclosed.

In addition, while senior police officers admitted they had seen the note and were aware of its contents, they did not share this immediately with the coroner or with Diana’s sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale.

Under French law, “removing or concealing” evidence, which could “facilitate the discovery of a crime”, is punishable by three to five years in jail or a fine.

Launching his new book, ­Memoirs of a Radical Lawyer, at ­Harrods yesterday, Mr Mansfield said there remained a number of questions over Diana’s death.

These included puzzling issues surrounding driver Henri Paul.

“There are questions about Henri Paul and money that went into his account, the missing time, the driver of the white Fiat and principally the drivers of the other vehicles – the one in front and the one behind the Mercedes before it crashed. None of them has ever been traced.

“And what Mr Al Fayed calls the crown jewels – a missing box of documents. The box was found but not the documents.”

Mr Mansfield said he remained confident that one day all the relevant outstanding questions would be answered.

He added: “The truth will always out.”

  MICHAEL JACKSON WAS PARANOID SOMEONE WAS GOING TO KILL HIM

Michael Jackson was paranoid someone was going to kill him, his sister La Toya has revealed.

La Toya, who took part in Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year, appeared alongside Whoopi Goldberg as a guest host on US show The View, Entertainment Tonight reports.

Discussing her late brother, La Toya said: “He told me many times ‘they’re going to kill me’.”

HUMAN NATURE by Michael Jackson

Looking out across the night-time
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs

Get me out into the night-time
Four walls won’t hold me tonight
If this town is just an apple
Then let me take a bite

If they say, why, why? Tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?

Reaching out to touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
See that girl, she knows I’m watching
She likes the way I stare

If they say, why, why? Tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
I like livin’ this way, I like lovin’ this way

Looking out across the morning
The city’s heart begins to beat
Reaching out, I touch her shoulder
I’m dreaming of the street

If they say, why, why? Tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Ooh, tell ‘em
Why, why does he do me that way?

If they say, why, why? Cha cha cha
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say why, why, why? Ooh, tell ‘em
Why, why does he do me that way?

If they say, why, why? Ooh, tell ‘em
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Da da da
Why, why does he do me that way?
I like livin’ this way

Something to Make You Smile

I received this video clip today from Anastasia who posts on this blog. I have never seen a video of Michael Jackson performing live until today, and his charisma comes through so strongly, that I can see why so many of you have been touched deeply by his passing. I think this is a very sweet moment that he shares with his fans where you see the gentle nature of this man. Remember he has the same compassion for each one of you that he shared for this little bug. I know he loves you and his spirit will never die.

Fii un punct din portretul dedicat lui Michael Jackson

Artistul celebrităţilor David Ilan realizează un portret original al megastarului Michael Jackson folosindu-se numai de puncte.

Fiecare punct din desen reprezintă câte un fan. Toţi cei care se înscriu în acest proiect la adresa  http://www.michaeljacksontributeportrait.com/home.php., primesc un punct, iar acesta se va regăsi în cadrul portretului Michael Jackson. Cel puţin un milion de puncte sunt necesare pentru a completa imaginea Regelui Pop.

David Ilan este iniţiatorul acestui tribut organizat în memoria Regelui Muzicii Pop, el nefiind la primul proiect de acest gen. Printre cei desenaţi de David în această manieră se numără actorii Scarlett Johansson, Danny DeVito sau fotbalistul David Beckham.

Portretul va fi realizat integral din puncte, printr-o tehnică cunoscută sub numele de punctilism. Primele puncte au fost puse pe pânză la ceremonia specială de inaugurare care a avut loc pe 28 august 2009 la Centrul de Arte EDGE din Hollywood, California, ceremonie găzduită de Gary Owens, MC la Hollywood. Tot atunci s-au şi pus primele puncte ale acestui portret, primul fiindu-i rezervat lui Michael şi apoi câte unul pentru fiecare dintre copiii săi. David Ilan pune un punct pe pânză de fiecare dată când cineva se înscrie, alături de celelalte puncte deja existente, acestea formând în final portretul lui Michael.

S-au alăturat în acest proiect fanii lui Michael Jackson din întreaga lume, precum familia şi unii dintre cei mai apropiaţi prieteni ai artistului.

“În spatele fiecărui punct de pe pânză este un fan care l-a iubit pe Michael şi plânge moartea lui. Punctele din care va fi creat portretul sunt fanii lui Michael. El şi-a iubit şi şi-a respectat fanii la fel de mult cum a fost iubit şi respectat de către aceştia”, a declarat David Ilan.

“Un astfel de portret, unde un punct este echivalentul unui fan, se va realiza în câteva luni. Aşa că vrem să afle despre acest lucru cât mai mulţi oameni, din cât mai multe ţări. Pentru acest lucru a muncit Michael toată viaţa, ca oamenii să uite că există diferenţe între ei şi să fie uniţi”, a mai spus artistul.

Odată înscris vei primi punctul ce-ţi aparţine din portretul lui Michael. Apoi nu ai decât să urmăreşti cum se construieşte portretul în timp ce intri în legătură cu fanii săi din întreaga lume.
