No, I’m not bored! I don’t have too much time at hand, I don’t need attention. I don’t want to bad-mouth anybody or gossip! I’m not a fanatic and I’m not a know-it-all. And especially: no, I’m not a hater (BIG “no” there). Now that we’ve cleared up what I’m not, let’s see what I am!
I am concerned! I’m concerned about Michael, his life, his wellbeing, his career. Concerned about his associates, concerned when I see his actions (or non-actions). Concerned when I think about his future, his legend, his artistry. Concerned to see more and more friends and fans leaving. And especially concerned when I compare the Michael Jackson he was a few years ago to the Michael Jackson I see now!
I want to help a friend and don’t just sit here and watch how he alienates himself from..well, basically himself!
Lets put it this way: If a good friend or a family member has been though a hard time – harder than anybody could probably ever imagine – this person will react in his own very special way. If he goes into isolation and doesn’t find back to himself or even puts himself into a position of dependence and external control, then it’s time to act! This is the moment when friends need to help! So if my friend changes, isolates himself, if he sits in his room and the outside world becomes strange and incalculable, I will not watch and accept when he says “Leave me alone!” No, I will take his hand, take him out of his bell jar back into the world, show him old things anew and give him a new perspective. He may hate me for being a pain in the ass in the beginning, he may want to run away, he may tell me everything’s fine, but I will stay anyway, because I care for him! Sometimes it needs a kick in the ass to show a person that you truly love him! If I didn’t care for Michael, I would let him sit in the corner of his room. But I won’t because I want him to find back to his corner of the sky!
Yes, he has a right to change! Yes, he always took his time for a new album. Yes, he might be less child-like, yes, he does get older. Yes, he can have fun on parties if that’s what he wants. Yes, he can dress and look like he wants to. Yes, he can do whatever he wants to with Neverland, his money, his music, his life! But he must not lose himself!!!
Why I rehash old stories? To make you see that there’s something wrong! So open your eyes and don’t try to always find excuses for whatever is happening! Why I put my fears and feelings in words? To remind you that we have to be there for Michael. So stand up and don’t turn away from Michael because you feel like you don’t know him anymore! I know it may sound silly, but somehow I feel we are responsible to do something! I feel like Michael needs help. It may be some stupid help syndrome or whatever, I don’t know, but having helped Michael through so many terrible situations I guess it stuck. All I know is: A lot of people can change a lot together – look at what we did with Sony! So through this blog I’m looking for people who feel like I do and who still stand up for Michael and want to help him. I know that together we can change the current situation and lead Michael back on the right way and give him the assurance that we are there for him. And I’m sure that we can do this together! This is only the start! So join me! Write comments, add me on MySpace, tell your friends, email me, give me your ideas on how to improve the situation!
Michael remained true to himself for 48 years! He did it his way and we all always admired him for his courage and power to do whatever he believed in, no matter how hard it was! He reinvented himself without losing his basic characteristics. His way to move, to stage-manage, to express himself, to communicate and interact, to stand up for and pass on his believes to thousands of people has always been unique and fascinating. But all of that seems to be under a big dust now. I don’t care about a new album, I don’t care about sold-out concert tours. I accept changes, I accept mistakes! I don’t demand the character “King of Pop”, but I don’t accept the loss of Michael Jackson!
Whoever thinks we will not lose the Michael we all know and love and that all will be fine as soon as a new album is out, didn’t understand a very important thing: my mission is the human being, not the artist production! Therefore I don’t want to just sit back and wait for a wonder from Mr. Incredible – actually I don’t see Mr. Incredible at all, I see someone who’s alone with a broken heart! And I want to take as many people as possible with me on my mission – because it should be OUR mission!
