आज माइकल की सालगिरह है ... उसके नहीं होने के बाद उसके वजूद के पहले निशान की ये तवारीख़.
लेकिन 18 बरस पहले ही माइकल अपना 'स्वैन सॉन्ग' रच चुका था. अपना हंसराग. 'डेंजरस' एल्बम में वो 'गोस्पेल' गीत शामिल किया गया था- 'विल यू बी देयर' ... 'हील द वर्ल्ड' के बाद संभवत: माइकल की सबसे उदात्त रचना.
'विल यू बी देयर' का साउंडस्केप तितलियों से घिरा हुआ है. इस पॉप गोस्पेल के शुरुआती ऑर्केस्ट्रा को सुनकर न जाने क्यों ऐसा लगता है, जैसे सैकड़ों-हज़ारों तितलियां फ़लक पे झिलमिला रही हों- पीले रंग वाली शोख़ तितलियां. यह उल्लास का अतिरेक है. इस गीत की धुन, उसका ग्रैंड ऑर्केस्ट्रा, उसकी हमिंग, उसके आउट-बर्स्ट, माइकल की फ़ॉल्सेटो आवाज़ और उसके सुपरिचित वोकल हिकअप...सभी लाजवाब हैं.
गीत में जब माइकल पूछता है- 'विल यू बी देयर'... तो हमेशा मेरा जी करता है कि चीख़कर कहूं- 'येस माइकेल, आई शैल!'
और आज, उसकी सालगिरह पर हम कुछ नहीं कर सकते, सिवाय इसके कि उसे फिर-फिर याद करें. इस गीत के साथ- हमेशा से हमेशा तक...
मन को मोमबत्ती बनाते हुए.
गाने में माइकेल ने सफ़ेद आउटफिट पहने हैं और वो उसमें बड़ा वायवी नज़र आ रहा है. वीडियो के अंत में आसमान से एक एंजेल उतरता है और उसे अपनी गिरफ़्त में ले लेता है.
इस बदनाम और बहुश्रुत पॉप सिंगर के लिए उसके ही द्वारा रचा गया यह मेटाफ़र जंचता है मुझे.
रेस्ट इन पीस...माइकेल! अब...हमेशा.
गीत के बोल:
Hold Me
Like The River Jordan
And I Will Then Say To Thee
You Are My Friend
Carry Me
Like You Are My Brother
Love Me Like A Mother
Would You Be There?
Weary
Tell Me Will You Hold Me
When Wrong, Will You Skold Me
When Lost Will You Find Me?
But They Told Me
A Man Should Be Faithful
And Walk When Not Able
And Fight Till The End
But I'm Only Human
Everyone's Taking Control Of Me
Seems That The World's
Got A Role For Me
I'm So Confused
Will You Show To Me
You'll Be There For Me
And Care Enough To Bear Me
(Hold Me) show me
(Lay Your Head Lowly)

(Softly Then Boldly)

(Carry Me There)
I'm Only Human
(Lead Me)

(I Will Feel Blessed)
I'm Only Human
(Carry)

(Carry Me Boldly)
Carry me
(Lift Me Up Slowly)

(Carry Me There)
I'm Only Human
(Save Me)

(Heal Me And Bathe Me)

(Softly You Say To Me)
(I Will Be There)
I Will Be There
(Lift Me)

(Lift Me Up Slowly)
(Carry Me Boldly)

(Show Me You Care)
Show Me You Care
(Hold Me)

(Lay Your Head Lowly)
i git lonly some times
(Softly Then Boldly)

(Carry Me There)
yeah yeah carry me there
yeah yeah yeah
[Spoken]
In Our Darkest Hour
In My Deepest Despair
Will You Still Care?
Will You Be There?
In My Trials
And My Tripulations
Through Our Doubts
And Frustrations
In My Violence
In My Turbulence
Through My Fear
And My Confessions
In My Anguish And My Pain
Through My Joy And My Sorrow
In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow
I'll Never Let You Part
For You're Always In My Heart.

अफ़सोस आपकी इस बर्डे-पार्टी में मैं शरीक़ न हो पाउँगा ! सेलिब्रिटीज़ को बदनाम करने का धंधा आज का नहीं बड़ा पुराना है मगर जैक्सन नाम का ये शख्स जिसे अपने काले रंग से इतनी नफरत थी की मरे अँगरेज़ का चमड़ा उसने सर्जरी से चढ़वा लिया ये कोई छिपी बात नहीं है । ना ही उस पर लगे बाल यौन शोषण के आरोप छिपे हुए हैं -
"Jackson was arrested in November 2003, days after sheriff's deputies executed a search warrant at his Los Olivos ranch. The entertainer was tried on a 10-count indictment returned in April 2004 charging him with four counts of child molestation, four counts of providing alcohol to a minor to facilitate that molestation, one count of attempted molestation, and one count of conspiring to hold the boy and his family captive at the sprawling 2700-acre Neverland compound.
During the trial, prosecutors painted Jackson as a textbook pedophile, a man who stocked his home with alcohol and pornography and used Neverland--with its amusement park, go-karts, and zoo--as a lure for underage boys he sought to molest। In his closing argument, prosecutor Ron Zonen described Jackson as a predator who carefully targeted his victims, often those from broken or impoverished homes. "The lion on the Serengeti doesn't go after the strongest antelope," Zonen said. "The predator goes after the weakest."
तब ऐसे में वो कितना ही महान कलाकार क्यों न हो वो आदर का पात्र तो नहीं हो सकता ! आपकी साहित्यिक एवम कलात्मक अभिरुचि को मैं सलाम करता हूँ किंतु एक मर चुके नर-पिशाच के जन्मोत्सव की मैं भर्त्सना करता हूँ ! आमीन खुदा सब पे रहम करे .
Ek deevaangi tha wo...

PS: Shutup Munish, we don't do this to people who have left. Stop being a judge to everything, to everybody, it's over
Childhood:
Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for the world that I come from
'Cause I've been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
'Cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me...
People say I'm not okay
'Cause I love such elementary things...
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood
I've never known...
Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates in adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne...
Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?
People say I'm strange that way
'Cause I love such elementary things,
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood I've never known...
Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
The dreams I would dare, watch me fly...
Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth I've had
Have you seen my Childhood...
They Don't care about Us
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wy5qTeHqms
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shot dead
Everybody's gone mad
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Beat me, hate me
You can never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
Jew me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, kike me
Don't you black or white me
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Tell me what has become of my life
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am the victim of police brutality, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
You're rapin' me of my pride
Oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
Set me free
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
trepidation, speculation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
black man, black male
Throw your brother in jail
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible because you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwing me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
You know I do really hate to say it
The government don't wanna see
But if Roosevelt was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Some things in life they just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Kick me, strike me
Don't you wrong or right me
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
I don't wish to make it another After-effect post, just wanted to share few of his best acts(There are many though). Thanks for patience. Thank you Sushobhit.
Dear Mxxx and CO. I can understand ur love for MJ but think for a while dear ,had MJ had any faith in his colour and features why he'd have gone through a very painful and complex and expensive plastic-surgery ?
So a man not having faith in himself can not claim an everlasting glory .
What about the sodomy part ?
Loving music and literature doesn't mean u start glorifying devil's own !
@Munish
Nothing personal about it. I won't dig holes in anything with half baked facts and accesses, so is what I propose too. We are not debating over someone's Character here. There's no MAXX & CO. here. Its "US". America used same method to manipulate "everything" about CHE(I am not comparing persona's here, so please for heaven sake!). We love them for what was "kind" in them. What we clearly could see, very human and inspiring. Little love and inspiration that makes us kind to others is welcome, desired. I will "keep" what inspires me, I will see human "through". I will take every hint that takes me to the beauty of being here, doing this. I will not ask them why these people divorced 10 times, made 20 babies, caressed none. I will not ask them why they could not live with Skin disease, died of it and proved to the world that they were not racist. I am happy they lived and gave us something we can look at with pride, and give back some respect/grace.
Nobody has to prove anything. It's just what are your concerns, what you want to look at. there are things, history will always lie about, things, never to be known, things, that made mark on our minds and lead us to light.
I am really sorry for being imprudent, rude to you Munish. Oh I really am...(a bit ashamed of language I used). my apologies.
Rest in Peace Michael, and love to everyone not yet in grave.
Kindly put an end to this. Upon my knees, I personally beg you both Munish and Sushobhit!
And, no personal remarks please.
Please make use of personal E-mails for that purpose.
I would be forced to remove all further comments, if you gentlemen decide upon continuing in this vein. And I would not be too happy about it.
Thanks in advance
