Cut to the overhead monitors, and a shot of the moonwalk. The people at Staples rejoice as if seeing MJ unveil the move anew — the sheer energy in those eyes, the smile that could propel a spaceship, a twist of a wrist, a turn of a pinkie, the cock of an elbow. That a mere dance move can change everything is mindblowing. That it can affect little kids in rural Missouri and East L.A. alike is not normal; that the move can go viral before the term meant anything, can travel from Nairobi to Rangoon to Moscow to London, is weird and wonderful. Sometimes forces collide. You can’t have a diamond without millions of tons of pressure and millennia of desire. Every once in a while these people arrive. They’re strange. Thank god, they’re strange.
