Love and always be loved...

When I hear his name, Michael Jackson, I remember his like this. Probably, because the first time when I saw him, he was at this age.

I was born in 1984 when his Victory tour, last tour with Jackson 5, was in the heat. Since then has passed 25 years, I received particulars from 1984, only in 2009 when I had to learn all my life not through the memoirs, but through his history. Then I knew that Michael wanted to name that tour « The Final Curtain» then it has not turned out … And he made it in 2009, he told «This is it» and used this phrase "This is the final curtain call" at press conference. Maybe it is not necessary to be surprised, as a song «This is it» is greetings from far 1984. This song also has been written in the co-authorship with the Paul Anka in that year.

So it has turned out that for these 25 years, from «final curtain» to «final curtain call», he made music history, his history, and … my history which I didn't suspect about. And I just… I went to school, graduated from the university and tried to pretend that all goes according to plan. My plan has failed on June, 25th, 2009. It has failed so loudly that behind this roar, I not even thought that occurs actually. And it was me, the person, who worked considerable time in mass-media, the person who understand, that news are not always the truth.

Life is an amazing piece. When I defended the diploma at university, the name was approaching to today's my position, «Ways of influence of« yellow press »on formation of mass consciousness», I couldn't and assume that first, it will so personally concern to me, and secondly, that I will struggle with this "formation" by their methods.

And even more I surprised, how I, being the expert in this question, have given in on this «the greatest newspaper hoax » in the history of show business. I ‘ve got out therefrom, and I simply want to offer to you my hand, while your reality hasn't turned to one big media reality.

If we want to read fairy tales let's read fairy tales about love, instead of about death, drug addictions and pedophilia! Differently, if you want to read something, take the book, instead of the newspaper, sometimes in art product, the world is much more realistic, than our, habitual world.

Yes, it is my native city. Probably this column isn't even in present. In Moscow has changed too much from the moment of his last visit here, in 1996. Only it is cold as usual …

So it has turned out that I was born on September, 15th, and both times that he was in Moscow, he was here on my birthday. It is a pity when I was 9 and 12 years old, I couldn't tell him thanks for such gift. That’s why it was even more sick to me. I was here all this time … all these years. I like to walk on the Theatres quare, along the street where there is hotel Metropol, I adore quay on where there is Balchug Kempinsky, I like to walk on Old Arbat. Now to me a time to shout:

«How does it feel

When you're alone

And you're cold inside»

If I only understood all of it earlier. If I only knew, that I know now. All could be in another way.
