I remember where I was when I learned of his passing because I happen to be working this week at the same exact place as last year when I heard the news - backstage at Disney World - EPCOT. We get 30, 15, 10, and 5 minutes calls to show time and it was during one of these we heard something like, "Gentlemen, 10 minutes to show, 10 minutes to show....and Michael Jackson has died."
That was a little jarring!
Just finished recently during our run with the "New Kid in Town" show an insightful book of interviews Michael Jackson did some eight years ago with the hopes of eventually publishing in book form.
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach makes a case that a spiritual healing was in order to keep Michael from walking down the path that his over-powering fame was taking him. I would agree. I highly admire his talent. It's heart-breaking he chose the path he did.
