MJ Clipped His Toenails

I admit to being a Michael Jackson fan.  He was my introduction to being a fan of anything. Now that he’s gone, I’m still on the fence about his guilt regarding the allegations made against him. But one other thing that I can’t help but think about is how weird it would be to see him do anything normal. Alarmingly enough, I find it easier to visualize him seducing a child than brushing his teeth.  That skeletal, ghost-like veneer just doesn’t lend itself to say, peeling an orange or applying deodorant. Can you see him doing everyday things? Just like everyone, he switched his pillow to the colder side in bed at night. He farted. He burped. He may have even picked what was left of his nose. Although all normal things, I still find it easier to visualize feeding an 8-year-old wine. In his younger years, things like putting on a pair of socks would not seem strange at all, but in what I will call “the ghoul” years, it would look comedic. Almost frightening. Oh well.  He’s gone and we’ll never know whether he was innocent or not. Or how it looked when he clipped his toenails.
