“Nothing was cooler or more exciting than Michael Jackson” - Michael Robinson p39
My thoughts exactly! This book and the exhibition it’s a catalogue for reminds us all of the creative genius that was Michael Jackson. He’s still a very relevant artist and inspiration today. I couldn’t make much sense of a lot of the exhibit which I saw before reading this book. Now I would love to go back and experience it all over again. You could easily spend the whole day there. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s really brought it back to me what a loss him dying so young was.
