前天中午從網路上得知Michael Jackson猝逝的消息，一下傻住，怎麼會？才五十歲呢！

也立即想起１９９３年，跟susan、ivy各花了兩千五百元去立市體育場，參與了MJ來台的首次演唱會。

那時因座位太遠，參與感不夠，加上比較之前看過的演唱會，覺得MJ的表演過於精算、機械化，而少了即興與人味的感受，所以留下的滋味並不深刻，除了用來炫耀之外，好像再沒別的感受可說了。

如今，斯人遠颺，再看看各種回顧報導，突然對他同情特別多，想想，他這樣死去無寧是一種福氣，在天堂的彼端，他應能尋回遺落的天真童年，享受真正的滿足與快樂。

而MJ留給這個世界的，他的歌、他的舞和他的創意也都會一直存在，至於醜聞，也當是一種殷鑑，用以警惕世人！

提及MJ的歌，獨鍾〔Man In The Mirror〕，如今讀到詞裡一句：I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love...，又不禁令我深深嘆息了。

於是，在此用這首歌來紀念這位一代歌手吧！

Man In The Mirror

I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .

As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That's Why I Want You To
Know

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change)

I've Been A Victim Of A Selfish
Kind Of Love
It's Time That I Realize
That There Are Some With No
Home, Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me,
Pretending That They're Not
Alone?

A Willow Deeply Scarred,
Somebody's Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
(Washed-Out Dream)
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya' See
Cause They Got No Place
To Be
That's Why I'm Starting With
Me
(Starting With Me!)

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
(Ooh!)
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change)...
