I wana acknowledge and shout out the great art work used as this subs profile picture, which has such deep emotion and meaning regarding Michael Jackson's inner thought's, his psychological being.

This was created in 2008 before Michael Jackson died as a series of images, it now belongs to Spike Lee who worked with Michael and resects him greatly as a fellow black artist.

In the image he's playing Jacks on the table (jacks son play on their name).

Young Michael is shown in pain, holding a mask of his likeness in his later years. Behind the mask was one of his songs https://open.spotify.com/track/5OtrYqFITMUGhVYxnMWwYe?si=i4PZxLXFRU2qTkkEPfsWnA

To me, my interpretation of this art is it shows the burden and heavy weight Michael carried from a very young age as a entertainer, the trauma he experienced from child abuse, and being torn apart by the media for being black and successful.

He lived his life in a media circus from childhood til death. He is dressed in a clown costume here, with the mask in a pierot clown style.

Such a complex and layered peice of art.

Good post

I appreciate this and awesome to those that stuck by Mike.there are probably many more too.

Kurt Cobain im not so sure. He wore a shirt with mj that wasn't great (something along the lines of loving kids not in a nice way)

Thanks for removing Matt fiddes, total bottom feeder. Mark Lester has also said some questionable stuff regarding paternity of mjs kids and such.

Corey Feldman and Sean Lennon havnt always been complimentary either. Check out bubbles burst from sean and what he said about that.

Corey mostly good but he is very problematic and flip flopped a bit.

Karen fay I'd be cautious about, she's said some stuff on social media that's not trustworthy.

A good way to weed out the honest, is people who are humble about their experiences with mj and dont exaggerate it for money and attention and relevance, which many do sadly. Mj didnt consider many people as real friends for a reason.

I see some newer acts reference mj as their inspiration and talk highly of him and his work, such as Katseye. Nice to see
