Michael Jackson

[juli17 at aol.com]

There was an article in the L.A. Times today by a columnist who has  
interviewed 
Michael Jackson numerous times from his childhood. One part of this article 
 stood
out to me. The columnist mentioned going through old photos once with  
Michael
and coming across one of Michael in his late teens. Michael called the  
photo horrible
and noted how he had so much acne and really hated his big nose. He also  
recalled
how around that time people would come to his parents' house (where he was  
still
living) and look him right in the face as ask where that cute little boy  
Michael was,
not even realizing that this teenager with acne and the "big nose" in front 
 of them
was that little boy Michael all grown up.
 
I've never had any desire to be famous (rich is another matter!), and I  
can't help but 
feel sorry for so many famous people who simply cannot handle the pressure  
and 
the constant scrutiny and judgment that goes along with it. No matter how  
much 
money or fame Michael Jackson had, I have a feeling that the great majority 
 of us
on this list have had (and are having) much happier lives, whatever trial  
and burdens
we must each deal with as human beings, than poor Michael did.
 
It's very sad.
