友人の会社がグラフィックを作ったというのでマイケルジャクソンの５１歳の誕生日のイベントでブルックリンのプロスペクトパークに行ってきた。プロスペクトパークは多分セントラルパーク並みの大きさで、中を歩くと森の中を歩いている様で緑に包まれる。
皆同じ方向へ向かって進んでいて、その流れに乗ってどんどん歩いきながらどんどん人も集まってくる。パッとひらけたところに出るとそこは人、人、人で野外フェスとでもいった感じだ。周りを見渡せばおのおのマイケルT（多分無許可で売られてるヤツ）を着てマイケルの写真をかざしてステージから流れてくるマイケルのヒットチューンに踊りながら歌っていた。しかもダンスがうまい人が多くて，小さな子供まで見事にダンスムーブを完コピしているのにはビックリ！
本人のいないステージ、でもそこから流れる彼の残した音楽に踊りながら大合唱する人の群れを見ていると胸が熱くなった。
これだけ沢山の、身分も職業も性別も年齢も肌の色も違う人達が一つになっている、音楽の力って本当にスゴいなぁ。My friend's company worked on the graphic for "Michael Jackson's 51st Birthday Bash" event at the Prospect Park in Brooklyn, so I decided to check it out. Prospect park must be probably as big as Central Park, and once you're inside, it feels like you're walking in the forest.
People are walking to the same direction, so we went along with the stream of people. More people starts to gather and then we were there.
There were so many people: seems like Woodstock or one of those outside festivals. Looking around, many people were wearing one of those bootlegged MJ T-shirts that they were selling at the entrance of the park or China town, and dancing and singing to the MJ's hit tunes that blasting out of the stage speakers. There were many people who mastered the MJ dance moves, and I was surprised even small kids were so good.
Without him being on the stage, but to his music blasting out of the stage, everyone was dancing and singing along: I was very touched by the sight and the sound. Many people of different status, work, gender, age and the color of the skin, were just united by his music at the moment. I was so blown away by how powerful the music is.
