soul-jering on at GOMA brisbane, for the MJ expo :)

I saw a young Michael Jackson's face (from the Beat It stage i think), plastered on the back doors of a taxi which had pulled up at a red light in Brisbane's CBD. I skipped a little faster to get a glimpse of what it was all about. Turns out there was an exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) showcasing the behind the scenes make-up and styling photographs of the Thriller music video. It was remarkable to say the least.

The intricacy of his music, dance moves & fashion sense was exquisite, the story of his life would give anyone the license to dream, but he was someone who was victimized for being different. Amongst the riches and the fame and the undeniable talent, he knew that being different wasn't easy. Not only did he preach about making a change, he practiced, and made a difference by being a philanthropist who gave away more than USD$300 million dollars to various foundations. And it's that kind of difference, that will always Thrill the World.
