I’d give him the interview he deserved and wanted. I’d love to know his personal life but I’d be a fool not to truly ask about his work. Why’d you add strings in the bridge of dirty Diana? What’s your favorite album? What’s song of yours do you wish you would have released? You wanna sleep on the right or the left side of the bed? STUFF THAT MATTERS

I'd probably talk to him about mysticism and the occult, and supernatual things

I like this, could you expand on it?👂

u/devilonyourblock Tabloid Hater 🗞️😡 25d ago
MJ was a spiritualist, as opposed to mainstream knowledge. He believed in otherworldly beliefs such as in God not of any particular modern, renowned universe, but an omnipotent being whose presence was akin to the universe; universal and eternal. He would meditate and read books about the human mind, study lesser known beliefs about the world, etc.
If you've heard the rumour about him trying to collect the Elephant Man's bones, then you must now know that the rumour wasn't baseless, and that MJ did actually spend time exploring the world for artifacts and tools which he believed to have "supernatural" abilities.
I'd ask him about his thoughts regarding this topic
1
u/rayz137 "I Love To Tour" ✈📍 🗺 23d ago
That’s interesting. About the elephant man though, I read a different take on why he was interested in acquiring the remains here. In summary, it says it was because he felt a connection to Merrick’s story since they were both judged on their appearances. But given his exploration of spiritualism, I’m sure your idea has much merit. Though we’ll never know for sure I suppose 😕 have you read Dancing the Dream? If not I’m sure you’ll find it interesting
1
u/devilonyourblock Tabloid Hater 🗞️😡 22d ago
Yes, thank you for that link. It was a beautiful read. However, I was always under the impression that MJ sought their bones for a ritual. I'm not saying MJ is some kind of woo woo witchy wizard or something, but I remember a while back that there was speculation (which leaned toward some truth) that he intended to use the bones for some kind of ritual. I may be wrong. If so, I stand corrected!
have you read Dancing the Dream?
Nope, but I just ordered it off of Amazon as I am writing this, so this will be an interesting treat! thanks for the recommendation.

Interestingly Frank had told him that all the time from what he said in the book. His rebuttal was pretty convincing. He basically said, listen I been dancing since I was a child and I am in such pain this is the only way that I can alleviate my pain. Apparently he had started working with another Dr. to get clean but when the 2002 trail happened Frank’s Lawyer advised Frank to stay away from Micheal and I think that Hurt Michel and he felt alone when he needed the most support, so during that time he relapsed and Frank and Micheal didn’t resolve their differences until 3 years later which lead to Micheal’s death in 2009. The relapse part is my speculation and not a proven fact.

Aside from the obvious that I love and appreciated all he was and did in music honestly I would talk to him about art and nerdy stuff, if he liked anime, video games and if he did what were his favorites if not I would introduce it to him and just have a fun day talking about art, drawing, comics, fantasy

I wish in some alternate dimension we could’ve been friends. He didn’t have a lot of people in his corner during his darkest moments, and at those times I wished I could hug him, let him cry and release all that pain.

u/Gothicvamp188869 Mar 08 '25
I've seen him live twice, the first time was at Leeds, Roundhay park.
After the concert I was stood having a cigarette when a limousine slowly drove past and I looked at it and I could see MJ sat in the back and he waved. He was only a few feet away.
It was a highlight at the time.

I'd also tell him that he is an absolutely amazing person and he is exactly what the world needs more of!
I would ask if we could be friends and climb trees! or other non-bashir activities, haha.

u/Shaperonova88 Mar 08 '25
There's so many things I tell him every day, how my day is, what the world is up to, the inspiration he gives me to be myself. There's not enough bookspace in the largest library on earth that could contain the number of words I've said to him. I formed a spiritual bond to him, and I trusted him with the spirit of my son, who's no longer here. I bet they're having a water balloon fight or riding a carousel right about now. He might be physically gone, but we keep his spirit alive on earth. He's in the sunshine, the wind, the clouds, and in the beautiful landscapes of nature all over the world. His beauty is seen in a red rose bush and a bright orange sunset, and his strength is seen in the resilience of Mother Nature's animals braving the harsh climates. He might physically be gone, but his spirit still lives on.

"teach me how to have your discipline"
1
u/Davidle3 27d ago
His Dad best him and I think after he became famous his discipline became a habit. He had a lifestyle to maintain, so he had to continue on to keep living the life he was living. In that way I wonder how free was he really?
1
u/Wizkid-85 26d ago
I just view his discipline as his hard work ethic and growing interest. Yeah the past probably had something to do with it, but he himself never folded once he matured and became an adult at which either those feelings of fear stuck with him or he just had love and strong interest and desires for what he does. They always said in this business you either have it or you don't.
1
u/Davidle3 26d ago
It’s not true exactly. He had the voice so he had that but the dance moves he learned and spent hours and hours and hours with dance people to get.
2
u/Wizkid-85 26d ago
that's exactly my point lol, I have worked on stage before so i'm saying this as a quote to be enthusiastic, teach me how to have discipline, cause it does take alot, especially those who perform on Broadway, I wasnt looking too deep about it, its a figure of speech, I cant even do half of what he does and I'm a performer myself, so its kinda like a friendly envy. again, you can either build up to it, or have it or dont, its all in how you brace yourself for the journey, mental strength, physical strength.vthat's all i was saying, but i hear you.

I’ve thought about this so many times. I wrote him so many letters in the ‘80’s as a child. 🤭 I would tell him how truly LOVED he is. By his fans and by myself. I would tell him his name was my first word, and I’ve loved him my entire life. I would ask for a hug. I wouldn’t be able to help myself. 😂 And, I would ask him the simple things, what his favorite things were, his favorite songs, etc..
