Questions, questions, questions....each person finds different answers to them... I can only say that - Michael Jackson was different - he was as if from another planet and one of us at the same time. He tried to be like us and ultimately failed - we did not allow it to happen. We made him escape some place so far away, and he finally reached the stars where his true place is.
Why I write this book, you may ask. Actually, I wanted to share something that bothered me for months, making me restless at night. I would like to reach you, through the power of thoughts - to reach as many people as possible, provoking them to reflect on their self, life, and the planet Earth. I would like them to think about the messages which Michael was constantly sending to us. People did not understand these messages and continue to misunderstand them. Till when? I don't want to sound like a pessimist but in my view, the answer is "forever" - until we destroy the world in which we live.
I don't want to write a typical biographical book, just following the life story of a famous person. Plenty of other books have done this job. Now, the moment is ripe for anyone who has decided to write about him, making money on his back again (probably not for the last time). The truth is that dozens of books focus on his life path, carrier, encounters with certain people, and rumors in the yellow press. I won't write about all that - I will reflect on how the ordinary man saw his life - how I see Michael Jackson, without ever touching to his personality and way of life. I don't know whether this type of reading will be of interest to the reader. However, I hope that they will find a different view of him, sharing at least a part of my thoughts and feelings.
I dedicate this book to my son B., the most precious person in my life, and to Michael if he could read this - from the stars above – and understand that he is still loved.
