More about Michael

My friend Rachel, who's about 7 years older than me, doesn't understand what all the fuss is about Michael Jackson - he was just a singer, she says, he didn't do anything, he didn't change the world like the singers of her time - Bob Dylan, people like that. It almost made me laugh - everyone thinks the singers of their generation captured something special and spoke for their time. I pointed out that MJ created "We Are the World" and sang about racial harmony, etc., but I'm not sure she was convinced.
