Spike Lee's birthday party for Michael today in Brooklyn
THIS is what a REAL tribute is supposed to be. As nice as it was, forget the memorial service. Forget the magazines. Forget all of it. What happened today in Brooklyn was like a mass movement of JOY and LOVE and HARMONY, all in the name of Michael Jackson. Every single person there (and there were thousands -- was feeling the MJ love, and it was pure. For real. Old people, young people, every color, shape, and persuasion imaginable, and all of them were FEELING IT, big time. No one was there for a photo op. There was no drama, no fighting, no nonsense -- just love and music and dancing. Michael was truly CELEBRATED and it felt so good.
This is before things started to fill up. As you can see, we did have rain, but it wasn't a disaster. Mike would've approved of all the umbrellas.
About 30 minutes in, Spike Lee came out and we all sang along to "Here Comes the Sun" (one of a small handful of non-MJ songs that were played), and what do you know? The rain stopped, and a bit later, the sun came out. Amazing! I'd like to think that George Harrison and Michael conspired together on that bit of magic from wherever they are now.
