Hi Murray, A friend of mine told me this past Saturday that her daughter was shocked at how Michael has aged, and said that he looks awful in the new Gateway ads. IF so (I haven't seen the ads) , then, more power to him ! As a choral singer, I certainly know how devastating unexpected changes in one's appearance can be ! I am sure he is VERY aware of changes in his appearance, and by not being afraid to be VISIBLE, it helps us all to be acceptable, when we are not quite so pretty any more.. I try to overlook the physical dimension of Michael, and look at the beautiful spiritual diension of him - especially the laughs he has brought his fans. Laughter is a crucial ingredient in healing.
