Just finished Michael circa 1994 (year I was born) in a Beat It jacket, smiling away... with 1958-2009 underneath it, just in case, you know...

I had to have him smiling.

Also, after hearing it in Watchmen, I listened closely to the lyrics of Sound Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel, it reminds me of the day he died, the vigils held by fans outside the hospital and around the world, and a small reminder of Man In The Mirror

It was written in 1964 to show the feelings of Americans after JFK was killed, which explains how apt the song felt to me. Here's the best version on Youtube... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hUy9ePyo6Q


Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turn my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence
