| None of you even believe me, you think I’m just making something up or something. Fine, whatever. All I can tell you is that every God damned reporter at that press conference cried like a child. Me too. It felt so God damned good. I’m guessing that this won’t be the last we hear from Mr. Jackson on this subject, and thank Christ for that. The Departing of a Dream is available now on the amazing Family Vineyard label and you should buy it, because as things get weirder, you’re going to want to see more of the Michael Jackson press conference. You’re going to want to hear the mournful little wordless songs he’s chosen to sing. And when you feel that his pain is your pain is the pain that everybody had before there was any war and the pain that everyone will have once the war’s been smoothly tucked away, you’re going to want to sing along. |
