I was amazed to see an elderly white woman in her mid 90's, with the assistance of two other woman of the same race and hand rails, make her way slowly and methodically up the stairs to the very top row of the crowded theater. What a testimony to the range of people Micheal touched. As I looked over the audience, I could not help but see the diversity of ages, genders and races. Almost as though all of the"in-the-closet" Micheal fans now had a reason to come out.
I don't think there will ever be another artist like him; the music, the dance; his message; his creativity. What a talent. What a loss.
