Make that change

Let's be honest. I know that the main reason most of you come to this blog is because you want to hear random Michael Jackson trivia. Well... you will not be disappointed today.

Can you guess what happened 23 years ago TODAY?

Think to yourself for a moment and then highlight below for the answer, once you are ready:

"Man in the Mirror" was released and he donated 100% of sales from the single to charity

Did you guess right? Congratulations.

This has always been one of my favorite MJ songs. When I went and saw the midnight (read 10:00 pm) release of This Is It I was doing pretty good in the "contain your tears" part of my life. At the very end of the movie, however, when this song accompanies a touching montage - I lost it. So great.

To celebrate I have included, for your viewing pleasure, my very favorite live performance of this song. It's from the 1988 Grammy's.




So many messages to be gleaned from this gem of a song.

Remember, "if you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and then make that change"
