Ok, so here's the deal. In a few days I am traveling to visit my best friend for 9 days who I have only seen once since January (when I first became the wild'n out fan of MJ that I now so clearly am). Of course, she knows I'm crazy about him. But I've resisted sharing too much about him with her until I could do so in person.
It's like introducing a new love interest to friends and family, y'know? Or is that just me? I am overly invested in making her like him!! Anyway.
While visiting her, I really really want to expose her to what Michael is all about and she's told me she's happy to let me. She is very open-minded and supportive of me being into him, though she has brought up LN a couple of times to me and told me a couple days ago she is interested in watching it, which I discouraged. So that's another layer of this.
But to the greater point...
If you only had ONE shot of making someone a fan of Michael -- and by this I mean, make someone see his brilliance in an undeniable way -- what would you share with them and why?
I really want to make the most of this. It is very important to me that, if nothing else, the people in my life at the very least develop a great respect for Michael, even if they don't end up fans like me (though, frankly, I do not accept that anyone who spends time with anything 'Michael' will not inevitably become a fan of his...)
