It is interesting to see what is being played out on the FMTC page....
On the one hand you have Catagory 1 'Pro Concert Michael Jackson Fans':-
You listen to Michael, have grown up with Michael and maybe have read a few 'headlines' or 'articles' about him through his life and death. You are the ones who are maybe lucky enough to be busy with your life through work or friends. However, that doesnt denigrate the fact that yes you are a Fan.
Then you have us Catagory 2 'Anti- Concert Michael Jackson Fans':-
For one reason or another (in my instance, through personal reasons, I am at home for long periods of time) we have had the time (over 2 years now) to spend reading & researching, we have built up friendships and connections with others enabling us to share information. To us getting information, attempting to get near the truth that was Michael's final days, weeks, hours, along with making sense of his life, has become an obsession. Thanks to this obsession we now have some amazing individuals amongst us who have worked tirelessly to get to the facts and publish and share their research with us in amazing blogs. Many of those 'blogs' are now coming under the radar of the media.
This page has bought us all together, however, uniting us unfortunately it doesnt. The problem being that although yes you guys in 'Catagory 1' are still fans and understandably want, like we all do, this Tribute, through no fault of your own, you have little or no idea of all of the politics that has gone on behind this Concert. I would love to think that maybe some of the links and things discussed on here will have helped many more to understand or start to research, like we have done, all that is so wrong in regards to the manipulation of Michael's name, family and legacy since he has passed.
Now all we have to work on is to get everyone united. We need to remember that underneath all of us is the common love, respect and admiration for Michael. As such we need listen to each other and respect our differing view points and not just dismiss them.
To those 'Pro Concert' fans....I get and understand that you are more than desperate for a tribute (we all are) but please LISTEN and digest what we are saying. Put your need to see The Jacksons and the J3 to one side and look at the bigger picture. We are not trying to spoil anything just want to keep Michael's legacy alive and well and we are most certainly not 'haters'!
To those 'Anti Concert'. A little bit more respect for the opinions of our fellow fans and acceptance of those who remain 'blinkered' for their own reasons might not go amiss.
This time next month the Trial will start and we can only hope and pray that the outcome will be the right one! Many of us will have made new friends and connections through this page (so not been all bad). So let us all reach out to our fellow fans ('pro' or 'anti') and lets show a united, cohesive force ready for what the following couple of months are going to throw at us.
JUSTICE4MJ!
