White and Black

The passing away of Michael Jackson is without a doubt one piece of news that will leave a mark on millions of fans of the great musician and dancer that all we knew through his songs and uniqueness. No one can dispute the greatness of this celebrity, who characterized an era. And this represents side A, the white side, loved and applauded by the whole world.
Then there is the other face, that of his personal life, with the weaknesses and the folly that characterized his existence and which more often took the limelight of tabloids with heavy accusations: side B the black one.
It is truly sad that it has been this second one which has taken the upper hand, accompanying him to a premature end.
White is the color of skin he wanted to have, against every logic. Maybe if he was consistent and had chosen also this style of life, he would have truly been great.
