The fact that Michael was more talented than most of us became evident when he eclipsed his multi-talented family on stage. At an age where most of us were still learning our ABC’s, Michael could walk on stage and take over the show.
I’ve known only one such talented individual personally. It seems those gifted in the genius category will struggle with the simple things that come easy to most of us. Michael struggled with the ability to function in the common every day things of life. He made multiplied millions off the stage with lucrative entertainment assets. But he badly mismanaged those millions once he made them.
He made the girls swoon on stage, but couldn’t stay married or even maintain a steady significant other. Unproven allegations aside, he lived the life of a recluse, a sad and lonely man. He was a household word and was known by nearly all, but struggled with his own identity. Dancing, singing, choreography – he had no rivals. I feel sad for Michael because the joy of life and the thrill of romance that he sang about seemed beyond the reach of him and his millions.
