The Man In The Mirror



Remember this one? An oldie here from the 1980s. We were getting ready for big changes even then. I wonder, if MJ made this video today, would he include the Marriage Equality movement in his imagery of social justice? Would he use all the "God Hates Fags" signs from Westboro Baptist Church in there somewhere? My guess is that he wouldn't. Since it was 87 then, he could have incorporated images of the enormous and photogenic AIDS quilt and ACT-UP's nonviolent demos. And no images of Harvey Milk? Just a theory, but I think Michael left us out on purpose. Still, this is very moving and I remember seeing it played in The Midnight Sun many times back then.

Thanks to Self Lothario for the link and the good memory: Michael (another one)

Peace out.
