Hold for applause, fade out

Sophie Cunningham August 13

Culture Mulcher has written several interesting posts on Michael Jackson. Here's his latest, which links to Joan Acocella's article on Jackson's dancing, published in The New Yorker. Meanjin will be publishing an article by The Enthusiast's Mel Campbell, in its December edition.

The clip below is of Michael Jackson's final dance rehearsal - 2 days before his death. He doesn't look like a man about to die, by any means. But he looks, and moves like an older man. It's a shame he didn't get to dance when older still. Watch until the end of the clip. I found it, well, symbolic, I suppose.
