The World’s Greatest Fans

As the days close in on the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray in the involuntary manslaughter charges many speculations swirl about as to whether or not the Dr. is actually to blame, if his actions were premeditated, if he was the “fall guy” for the efforts of someone else or if Michael Jackson is possibly still alive. Though the rumors of what happened  and how Jackson’s fate played out while in Murray’s hands abound one thing is continuous and that is the concern and devotion of those who have been dubbed “the world’s greatest fans” by the King of Pop  icon himself.

If you were to review the many posts on various fan sites you would see Jackson’s supporters expressing great sorrow in the absence of Michael Jackson. Many attest that their lives have been “changed” and that their joy has been taken away from them.  In these posts you would read hundreds of individuals speaking of Jackson so intimately you’d think they had an active role in his life yet many never met him. The fact that they never met him didn’t diminish the impact he had in their lives. Some of Jackson’s fans will be so open as to express their belief that he played a vital role to their survival of abuse, trying circumstances and in my recollection I even recall one fan’s  account of how when trapped in a burning building it was  Jackson’s voice that motivated her to find her way out and escape the blaze that was sure to consume her life. Stories of love such as these are not few; in fact they tower above those you could find in contrast that would depict Jackson as less than human and attempt to vilify him by slandering his name with insinuations and allegations that have shown themselves to be unfounded. Those who disseminate such hate do not care what the facts are but for some reason or another they have determined they don’t like Michael Jackson and will ignore the facts that prove his innocence and lead to revelations that he is a great, caring, compassionate and giving individual.

Jackson’s fans are vigilant in all things Jackson so if you asked many of them questions concerning song lyrics, album titles and his performances they would likely know the answer but their quest in knowledge of the megastar does not stop there, you see Michael Jackson’s fans are likely as diverse as the stars in heaven and their intelligence and occupations range accordingly so you can trust that they’ll be on top of the more complex issues involving investigations, allegations and business ventures as well. The Conrad Murray trial is a prime example of Jackson’s fans never ending objection to show their love and search for truth. Though many opt to conduct their pursuits from their home computers you will find a network of thoroughly competent individuals sharing insight and information perhaps even putting the officials assigned to the case to shame. They explore the history of individuals in Jackson’s camp, court documents and testimony and verify or disprove information that the media transmits. A hub if you will of the most devoted investigators you’ll ever find. The most thorough of these you’ll likely never notice as they quietly sift through insurmountable pieces of information and share their reviews with other investigators, collect others thoughts and material then continue their quest for truth. What is this truth they search for? For some it is to prove whether  Murray premeditated the murder of Jackson. Others want to know if a slew of individuals plotted to take his life and Murray was the “fall guy. Then there is the pursuit of knowing if Michael Jackson somehow survived an attempt of someone  taking his life and faked his death to protect himself and his family.
With the possibilities being so broad how is it that truth can be known or even spotted?  Is the answer hidden amidst all of the information right before our eyes? Are Jackson’s fans on the verge of knowing what actually occurred in the life of Michael Jackson that caused him to no longer be amongst us? I believe even as evidence of God abounds in nature the answers are all around us. Though one seeks and finds truth or another stumbles upon it, they both have attained equally and it is that knowledge that is to be desired. It is that knowledge that Michael Jackson’s fans search for and though it may appear to be hidden I come to know the truth surrounds us and the “world’s greatest entertainer’s” love was never overshadowed or unequalled by the” world’s greatest fans.”
