The world was shocked by the untimely death of Michael Jackson on June 25, 2009. Our King of Pop was an exceptional talent and tormented soul. The thunderous masses built him up as a god and then tore him apart as a piece of fresh meat.
In the end, Michael was fragile--and maybe not meant to stay on this earth long at all. It was too difficult an existence for a boy born light and feathery and with the beginnings of wings.
The best comment we've seen or heard anywhere in the news came from singer Annie Lennox, who we've always admired as artist and human being.

This is what Ms. Lennox published on her website:
Michael Jackson

The world is in shock at the news of Michael Jackson’s sudden passing.
He was a phenomenal musical genius, whose entire life was exposed to the madness and distortion of everything that accompanies exceptional ability and fame.

We send Michael Jackson our gratitude for his life and the gifts he gave to this earth. We'd like to convey our deepest sympathy to his family and friends. We wish them peace and courage. We dispatch good energy for their own journeys of healing.
If you feel moved, please leave a comment.
