Even if we are not a fan, most of us have a Michael Jackson song that we call our own. More often than not it is a Michael Jackson hit that we have adopted and called our own. It maybe a song that has touched us the most, a song that we can relate to or even a song as simple as something that we sing in the bathroom in our private moments with the shower head. Admit it or not, not all of us have a Beatle song, Elvis song or even a Backstreet or N’SYNC song but most of us have a Michael Jackson song to call our own. Even though the man was shrouded in mystery, scandals and sometimes negativity, he gave the world something; he gave the world his music and his magic. Anyway, my point is we all have a Michael Jackson song –mine is “Man in the Mirror.” I don’t know why that is my MJ song, maybe it’s because we sang it countless of times in the dull moments of our duty during my nursing days or maybe I just like the message or maybe I usually talk to myself in front of the mirror. (Too much freaky information on the last part?)
Join me as we salute the man who has given us something to call our own.
“I am talking to the man in the mirror
I am asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and make that change.”
