Michael Jackson Now and Forever

I love this album Michael. For one thing it is an album that was released once and never came around again. Those are sort of fun as not every fan will remember them. Those who have a copy have a gem that's ahem, 25 years old this year. I loved this one but it came out when your other music was popular in the '80's so a lot of people skipped it.

Which is a shame since the entire album was redubbed to have a cool jazzy, disco, funk sound. It is just amazing to hear you singing backed up by more modern music. Plus these were all from the platinum vaults, so the music had never been heard before that time.

The title track, Farewell My Summer Love, is amazing. It has a definite motown funk, with an intro like the Drifters. Then there is your amazing range. Honey, you put Smokey to shame with your soulful wail. You can scat and improvise too. Is there anything you can't do with a song?

Although it isn't counted in your studio discography, it should be. The remixes combined with your rendering of the lyrics at such a young age knocks me off of my feet. How you fit that much funk and talent in that itty-bitty little body you had I'll never know.

But one thing. In my honest Opinion you don't need to Make My Father Proud. That man needs run over with a bus Michael! He hit you itty-bitty things, for Pete's sake. Where were all the people who care about children then? But you're safe from him now, and the crazy press.

So I go to the door today, because I get that vibe you get when someone is there. I felt pretty low. How could I handle visitors now? Well I opened the door and got a wonderful vison. Michael was there! And he was healthy too like he always is in my dreams. I truly believe it was a gift from Michael because he wanted me and everyone else to know he is OK. He seemed so happy and he is getting to do all the wonderful things he wants to now. At last we can all get tickets on the other side. Cause you KNOW he is rocking heaven now with the greatest concert ever. No doubt thousands of others will get one too.

I found a wonderful comment about you on Photobucket: Mjlover90 wrote:

Michael, I loved seeing you in concert in Pittsburgh at the Civic Arena. You packed the house! The most amazing thing was I got to be within a few feet of you. You were in a side room with your guitarist laughing and joking around. I wasn't able to get in because security realized where you were, but it was a total honor to be so close.

I loved how you started the whole thing. The fireworks, awesome lights, lasers, and music. You danced in concert long before anyone though of it. You encouraged us to get up and dance too. And the peace and love in the room! Everybody, black, white, Latino, whatever loved one another in your presence.

You did so much to spread love and peace in your concerts that you've inspired me to be a proud activist and help others.

When you moonwalked you blew the dome off the Arena. Penguins or no, you are the hottest thing to ever rock the Igloo. Loved it when you did

Others love and admire you too Michael. I've found two wonderful petitions I hope every one of your fans sings. The first is to declare your birthday a national holiday! There are already over 100 signatures but they need 100,00 to send it.

The other is a very nice memorial to you. Not sure if it will be a book for your family, or just online but it is very touching. They want over a million signatures. Sure hope they get them.

Your fans are also hitting the newspapers, talk shows, call-in shows, radio and internet in force. Your record sales are through the roof and you had the iTunes top five downloads locked up for a while. I think you'd like all the newspaper that have positive articles and a lot of them have books for fans to sign online too. Even Photobucket is running a memorial for you.

VH1 ran your videos non-stop for three days and even the Weather Channel broke the story. MTV and BET have both done specials, CNN too. More people love and are inspired by you than you'll ever know.

Loved this Mad Magazine issue, number 277. They did a sort of salute to Bad with a parody of the song. It was a rant about what the tabloids have done to you. It covered the crazier stories of the day in the lyrics. I had heard lately that all this started when you wanted some PR, but I sort of doubt that. You could have went to any real newspaper in the world for that.

I do like the cute pics with the lyrics with your snake and think you might have liked it. I always wanted to send this to you for an autograph, but didn't know how you would take it. Again Michael I feel they are dissing the rags, not you. Really wish I had done it now. I must be the only fan on the planet without your autograph.

To you and all the fans, no diss is meant by posting the lyric excerpt. I think they trash the rags and not you.

SAD

"Big bucks and fame
Really took him far;
He hit the heights--
A su-per star!
To-day it's weird
When peo-ple see
His room-mat's now
A chimp-anzee.

Far Gone!
Far Gone!
Seein' what's goin' on!

He's now kissed off
His clo-sest kin;
His family's out--
His py-thon's in;
He's got no time
for groov-y chicks--
E-lec-tric shocks
Pro-vide more kicks.

Now he hides out in his mansion,
Tendin' to his private zoo;
Conversation comes more easy
With a frog or kang-a-roo.

And it's so sad, so sad--
Far gone!
So very sad he had
to blow it!
He's gone from rad to bad
and thrown it away!
When he gets inside his
ovygen tank, ev'ryone
can plainly see--
IT'S SAD!"
