"He performed in soccer stadiums around the world, he sold hundreds of millions of records, he dined with prime ministers and presidents. Girls fell in love with him, boys fell in love with him, everyone wanted to dance like him, he emed otherworldly, but he was also a human being. Like most performers, he was shy and plagued with incurities.
"I can't say we were great friends, but in 1991 I decided I wanted to get to know him better. I asked him out to dinner: I said, 'My treat, I'll drive, just you and me.' He agreed and showed up to my hou without any bodyguards. We drove to the restaurant in my car. It was dark out, but he was still wearing sunglass. I said, 'Michael, I feel like I'm talking to a limousine, do you think you could take off tho glass so I could e your eyes?' He paud for a moment, then he tosd the glass out the window, looked at me with a wink and a smile and said, 'Can you e me now, is that better?'

"In that moment, I could e both his vulnerability and his charm. The rest of the dinner, I was hell-bent on getting him to eat French fries, drink wine, have desrt and say bad words, things he never emed to allow himlf to do. Later, we went back to my hou to watch a movie and we sat on the couch like two kids, and somewhere in the middle of the film, his hand snuck over and held mine. It felt like he was looking for a friend more than a romance and I was happy to oblige him. And in that moment he didn't feel like a superstar, he felt like a human being. We went out a few more times together and then for one reason or another we fell out of touch. Then, the witch hunt began and it emed like one negative story after the other was coming out about Michael. I felt his pain. I know what it's like to walk down the street and feel like the whole world has turned against you. I know what it's like to feel helpless and unable to defend yourlf becau the roar of the lynch mob is so loud that you are convinced your voice can never be heard.
"But I had a childhood, and I was allowed to make mistakes and find my own way in the world without the glare of the spotlight. When I first heard that Michael had died I was in London, days away from the opening of my tour. Michael was going to perform in the same venue as me a week later. All I could think about in that moment was that I had abandoned him. That we had abandoned him. That we had allowed this magnificent creature that once t the world on fire to somehow slip through the cracks. While he was trying to build a family and rebuild his career, we were all busy passing judgment. Most of us had turned our backs on him. 股东协议书
"In a desperate attempt to hold onto his memory, I went on the Internet to watch old clips of him dancing and singing on TV and onstage and I thought, 'My God, he was so unique, so original, so rare. And there will never be anyone like him again.' He was a king. But he was also a human being and alas, we are all human beings and sometimes we have to lo things before we can truly appreciate them. I want to end this on a positive note and say that my sons, age 9 and 4, are obsd with Michael Jackson. There's a whole lot o
