Michael Jackson - RIP

This is not a typical subject for Shared Creation. We are not a place to talk about celebrity or to laud and analyse those artists who are achieved vast mainstream success. However I must make an exception here and mention the sad death of Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson was without doubt both a creative genius and man with troubles of his own, so often it seems that the great creative people walk this tightrope that hovers between greatness and something much darker and more destructive. However this is not something I want focus on.

I  just want to say that at his best Mr Jackson redefined pop music, video making and stage craft, taking each to new levels of excellence. So I say take a moment to look at very best of his work and try to learn something from it. Over the coming days I’m sure recounts of his life will be all over the media and impossible to avoid. Look at these and learn. That way maybe something great will come out his untimely death.
