It was so exciting and passionate - the fans were like the people who come to my concerts. They were screaming and shouting and cheering their players on. I loved it. I wanted to jump up and start dancing because I'm used to performing on stage when I hear all that noise. The fans were great, although they seemed pretty surprised to see me.

After 4 years in the making "Moonwalk", Michael Jackson&#8217;s long awaited autobiography is published by Doubleday and editted by Jaqueline Onassis.
"Moonwalk" Excerpt:
"I&#8217;ve always wanted to be able to tell stories, you know, stories that came from my soul. I&#8217;d like to sit by a fire and tell people stories &#8211; make them see pictures, make them cry and laugh, take them anywhere emotionally with something as deceptively simple as words. I&#8217;d like to tell tales to move their souls and transform them. I&#8217;ve always wanted to be able to do that. Imagine how the great writers must feel, knowing they have that power. I sometimes feel I could do it. It&#8217;s something I&#8217;d like to develop. In a way, songwriting uses the same skills, creates the emotional highs and lows, but the story is a sketch. It&#8217;s quicksilver. There are very few books written on the art of storytelling, how to grip listeners, how to get a group of people together and amuse them. No costumes, no makeup, no nothing, just you and your voice, and your powerful ability to take them anywhere."

WOW, April is a BUSY month in the life of Michael :wub:

I of course :heart: that quote :D

"Moonwalk" Excerpt:
"I’ve always wanted to be able to tell stories, you know, stories that came from my soul. I’d like to sit by a fire and tell people stories – make them see pictures, make them cry and laugh, take them anywhere emotionally with something as deceptively simple as words. I’d like to tell tales to move their souls and transform them. I’ve always wanted to be able to do that. Imagine how the great writers must feel, knowing they have that power. I sometimes feel I could do it. It’s something I’d like to develop. In a way, songwriting uses the same skills, creates the emotional highs and lows, but the story is a sketch. It’s quicksilver. There are very few books written on the art of storytelling, how to grip listeners, how to get a group of people together and amuse them. No costumes, no makeup, no nothing, just you and your voice, and your powerful ability to take them anywhere."


I would :love: to get that Ed Hardy sweater too
:cheeky:
 
Hi!
The post here mentions 20 April as the date Moonwalk was published but Wikipedia says February. Does anyone have any proof of the April 20th date?
