Is it just me or is it terribly morbid to want to watch a movie based on the rehearsals for Michael Jackson's last tour when he was strung out and listless, a shadow of his former self? Who would want to remembered for the very last days of their life when in fact they were actually half dead? Especially someone who so carefully cultivated and obsessed over their physical image even though it wasn't in keeping with society’s' version of beautiful. Let's put it this way, if anyone taped the band rehearsal we had today I would hunt them down and burn it before I kicked the bucket. Airing footage of rehearsals is like inviting people over for dinner, marinating chicken and peeling potatoes and putting it on the table before ever putting it in the oven, uncooked, raw and salmonella worthy. The previews for the movie are as unavoidable as clips of Kanye West interrupting, insulting and humiliating a seventeen year old girl( Taylor Swift), then apologizing, crying and finally admitting  that he was wrong about something for once. When Kanye and Jay Leno  sat down to talk on Jay's first night back to prime time in a new time slot, it was like watching a grade five therapy session, a la Dr Phil (which I am sure Dave Letterman loved with a capital L), he was publicly chastised while this is one of the best things to ever happen to Taylor Swift's career. It was almost like Beyonce pulled a Dirty Dancing and said "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" and Taylor instantly became as beloved as " Baby" herself.  Sadly today while celebrities were twittering, blogging and revealing too much in interviews, the original " Johnny Castle" Patrick Swayze lost his battle with pancreatic cancer, a battle he fought with enough dignity and pride for all of the Kanye's in the world. So, if you want to be truly touched and entertained by a life lived with beauty, turn off the TV and go see the Beothuck Street Players version of "Tuesday's With Morrie" at the St John's Arts and Culture Center September 16th to the 19th, your mind and heart will thank you.
