MJ

Does Michael Jackson Represent the ultimate artist. The most widely emanating force of artistic invention in the modern world. Instantly recognizable. Popular from Tanzinia to Sweden. Portugal to Mongolia. I mean seriously how do i capture the world's attention like that. How do I let them have what I make. I mean in many ways his work has been abused for commercial purposes.

And I am sure there are many people who don't understand his lyrics but love his music. But they appreciate it. My problem with advertisers is they are like the cynics know the price of his music but not its value. They know in many ways what it could do and mean and consciously malign it. They consciously act to devalue it and transform it in to a tool. Where it is art. As opposed to someone in Uganda who might interpret Billy Jean as a celebration of whatever he pleases. He may not understand it but he can value it. Understanding is simply making it yours. It is your possession in your mind. You may do and feel it as you please. Well not exactly. It does to you as it pleases as well. You both control and don't control what you get from it. But it is very much yours.
