Michael Jackson: Hermaphrodite

Noted composer and musician Quincy Jones remarked on the late Michael Jackson. He said,"He [Jackson] took dancing to another level from where Astaire and Kelly left it."

But Astaire and Kelly danced and accomodated partners. Jackson didn't. Jackson was really a one-man exhibition. To be more accurate, the "man" is somewhat hidden by a hermaphroditic visage. I.E. After much time and money Jackson became a Diana Ross look alike. He was a couple-both man and woman. He achieved uniqueness. Many would say he became a freak. 

Freak is not too harsh. Consider Jackson partially changed his sexual appearance with the Diana Ross ploy and engaged in bisexuality which included charges of child molestation. I'm sure death was welcomed by him.

Michael Jackson: One-Man Circus Act

Nineteenth century circus impresario P.T. Barnum would have gone broke against the likes of the low-cost ,one-man circus act incarnated by Michael Jackson. After a 12 year hiatus, Jackson will have a world wide concert tour that some predict will net the "entertainer" app. $400 million. Jackson is a dancer, singer, female impersonator and all around shape shifter.

Jackson looks like a white Diana Ross of the 1960s Supremes singing group. But I don't think Jacko will be singing the Supremes' hit "Baby Love". He was acquitted of a child molestation charge some years ago. I predict success for the tour since he will draw from the ample supply of the non-discriminating and the morally ambivalent.
