It's all about L.O.V.E. (Book)
Released: 05-02-2010
A while ago, we have told you about a project by some fans who were asking you to share your memories of Michael as they were in the process of compiling a book.
The book is OUT NOW!
It is called ITS ALL ABOUT L.O.V.E. and can be ordered via amazon, various other online book stores or you should also be able to get it at a bookstore near you with the following ISBN: 978 3 8391 4941 6
THE BLURB:
A lot has been written about Michael Jackson! His musical genius has been analyzed, his life has been told in ever so many versions, his persona has created reactions from deep admiration to hate.
But there is one thing, one big topic that played such a huge role in Michaels life and career but still has always been neglected: his relationship to his fans! This very special bond that existed between Michael and his fans around the world generated stories that have never been told before and shows a facet of Michael that the general public is not even aware of!
ITS ALL ABOUT L.O.V.E. is a book that contains stories and poems that no journalist, no biographer and no editor in this world could ever write about Michael Jackson. It not only shows the immense inspiration Michael was to his fans but also includes true stories of fans meeting Michael backstage right before his concert or on the set of In the closet, talking to Michael on the phone, giving an artwork-presentation to him, having a nightly conversation with him or even visiting Michael at home in Neverland. These are stories that only his fans can tell! May this book help to keep his memory alive for many generations of fans that will follow. Not of Michael Jackson the mega star, the Moonwalker or King of Pop - just of Michael, the man who so self-sacrificingly tried to show the world that it is all about L.O.V.E! :
THANX to everyone from MJSN who shared their stories! Without you this project would not have been possible!
Thanx to you, the book has become an amazing documentation of what it was like being a Michael Jackson fan in the MJ-era. Although it is still always painful to realize: the next generation(s) of Michael Jackson fans will never be able to experience him the way we have so we can be proud that now we can at least offer them a glimpse into what he was like, how he cared for his fans, how he loved entertaining us with little messages, window games and lightshows and how he never missed a chance to show us his love. Now everyone has a chance to experience Michael outside of the media and realize that he was, in contrast to what the media says, one of the most accessible stars for his fans!
The way the stories are written, all the love and admiration that flows out of them can really serve as a mirror of Michaels personality!
All authors of the book have agreed to the waiving of their revenues for the benefit of a charity organization, acting in the true spirit of Michaels message - so all revenues will go to Make-a-Wish International!
