November 2020 Sharing MJ News and Comment from the World Wide Web November 2020 Sharing MJ news and comment from the World Wide Web Editorial One thing is certain about Halloween, no matter the year. Michael Jackson’s classic track “Thriller” is going to trend on social media. Sure enough, this year it reportedly trended in The Netherlands, Italy, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Sweden, Colombia, Mexico, Germany, Brazil, Philippines, and Australia. It was continuing to trend when these results were posted by @andjustice4some on Twitter. Sharing the spotlight this year was “Michael Jackson’s Ghosts”, and deservedly so. This year in particular, “Ghosts” found new audiences when it was made available on Michael’s official YouTube channel for the Halloween weekend – and in better quality than I’ve previously seen it. China celebrated Halloween in their typically spectacular style by unveiling yet another MJ HIStory statue, this time in Chengdu. It happened at night, with pyrotechnics and a crowd of fans watching on. (See the story in the News items below.) As always, it’s been a fun time, with some of us taking part in charity fundraisers in MJ-themed outfits or costumes, proudly showing off our love for the man and his legacy. Halloween may be over for another year, but the Michaeling continues. Stay happy and healthy, everyone, and have a great month! Kerry Hennigan • R.I.P.

Even as this article is written, controversy rages not only over the cause of his death but also the legacy he has left behind. 2 Michael manifested all that we loved and loathed of our humanity – a desire to restore the innocence of the world and yet a dark inclination towards deviant transgressions. He was very much an enigma that many imitated but few identifi ed with. Although he was a hypersensitive recluse victimized by an abusive childhood, his transformations of physiognomy caused him to be the focus of uninterrupted media attention. He reportedly gave millions to charitable organizations yet left behind an inheritance of debt and lawsuits.
