Michael Jackson. Man in the mirror dead at 50.
Please read comment from producer Chuck Haifley below.
Almost everyone knows that Michael Jackson passed on yesterday, and most people have a judgment of him. My view is based on his song "Man In The Mirror," which I believe reflects his inner conflict.
Jackson really wanted to make changes as well as to stand up to make a difference in the world. He changed the world more than most people and mostly for the better. He pointed to the shadows in himself, and he was a mirror for many people's shadows.
I don't envy the life he led. It must have been very confusing being a child celebrity, having a father who regularly beat him, wanting to make a difference on this planet and being constantly hounded by an entourage that always wanted something from him
Now, he has made what many people consider the ultimate change. He is no longer occupying the physical body that so many came to either adore or criticize. He is no longer in the spotlight of human celebrity. He is no longer being judged by a loving or hateful public. He is free, and he is home.
Thank you Michael Jackson for being a mirror to so many and bringing songs of light to the dark corners of humankind. You will also find a profound comment below from Chuck Haifley
the producer of the Man in the Mirror video. It was posted after this article was published, and it moved me profoundly.
May Michael Jackson and all people enjoy the freedom and liberation of a graceful transition into the next evolution, and may we all forgive and recognize that we are each simple humans here to learn lessons, teach others and make that change.
