Food for thought by Jay Smooth on Michael Jackson, media and us.

“And yet at the center of all that tragedy, this same camera and microphone that gave him a life without peace, also filled his life with these transcendant moments of grace. They let him connect with us in a way that way only an artist can and share that purest kind of joy that only an artist can create. And with these tools, he got to share that with us a billion at a time.”
