THANKS MaryK! :th_bravo: Great post.
This world we live in isn´t always about lightness. It´s often cold and hostile, shallow and often bereft of content.Everyone is trying to find their meaning in life, their place. Especially during adolescence.This gesture on stage wasn´t meant as an encouragement to think about suicide as a solution, nor was it the glorification of suicide or mockery of any kind.I think it was a gesture of showing solidarity. Saying "I feel your pain, I can relate, you are not alone and you are NOT a failure for thinking the way you do or doing what you did".I think it is important that we have people out there, also artists, that give those struggling to fit in or fighting to be understood the feeling of "you are not alone"I think MM songs have helped save more (young) lifes then we could ever imagine. The person behind the "product" MM is in fact very shy and sensitive, very intelligent, literate and well-spoken.He actually does have a lot of very deep songs and views on society and life that Michael himself probably agrees with.
@Aussie: I thought Mary had a change of heart upon a days reflection. We've all been there.
Thanks for explaining, though I don't believe the story, I understand and totally get where you are coming from with your opinion that the 'context' is missing. :smiley_abuv: and Love
The difference for me is that (up to now), the public, the "audience" have no way, no possibility of perceiving the Paris story as art, since the majority of the world public isn´t aware of the death hoax.
However I feel that IF this is for "artistic reasons" it should be made clear as soon as possible.
