Interested in seeing Michael Jackson live?


Michael Jackson has announced a series of concerts at London's O2 arena in July. He didn't specify how many shows he'll play. It is rumoured up to 50, although posters have shown he's booked for 10 dates.

Tickets are expected to sell quickly for the shows, despite concerns the 50-year-old star may not be up for a return to the spotlight. The King of Pop has been plagued by financial, legal, and medical woes for years and has not performed a major concert since 2001.

Are you interested in seeing Michael Jackson live? Can he make a comeback? Here is the latest selection of Your Views:

Yeaa, absolutely ! Michael Jackson is the undisputed 'King of Pop.' He has some funny ideas, has done some things he probably regrets but aren't all rock stars a bit eccentric. Putting that aside he is a world class entertainer, showman and dancer, his dance steps defining a generation.

The young people still strut out his moves. I think he can still cut it at 50 with his passion and youthful outlook. If you get a chance go and check him out, his stage presence, rig, contagious beat and lighting show are one of a kind.

You may not agree with his view on life but he is a very talented man who has sung and entertained from when he was old enough to walk, or perhaps that's 'Moonwalk.' In the words of Mr Jackson himself 'You have to feel the music.'

Michael Jackson has recorded more than 100 songs in secret, but is refusing to release the tracks until after his death, according to biographer Ian Halperin.

The singer has amassed a stack of tunes but only wants them to be heard by his children, 11-year-old Prince, 10-year-old Paris Katherine, and five-year-old Prince Michael II, after he dies, said Halperin, author of forthcoming book "Unmasked, The Michael Jackson Story".

Halperin said, "I was astonished by the number of songs which have been held back. I was told that he will not let them come out now but wants to leave them for his kids, a very personal legacy to them."

As for his Beatles' back catalog, it will go to Sir Paul McCartney.

Gravity are the forces of the human subconscious.



Human Subconscious as a p-adic Dynamical System.Dynamical systems are assumed to be located in the human subconscious and are controlled by the human conscious which fixes parameters of the dynamical systems in the subconscious and transmits to the subconscious generating ideas which initiate iterations of the dynamical systems in the subconscious. Thus, we present the mathematical model which is not based on the rule of reason.

Your mind works in two parts: the conscious and the subconscious. The subconscious mind consists of one's instincts/gut feelings. What many are unaware of (ironically) is that millions of amounts of information are accessed and stored in the subconscious mind at any given moment.
The conscious mind is what one is aware of at any given second. Experts have expected that the conscious mind can be responsive of about 7 things at one time. The conscious mind is what keeps humans sane. If we were to strictly run off the subconscious mind, then we would go insane because of the millions of amounts of information being processed.
Every thing that happens affects everything in the universe (the butterfly effect), like a cause-effect reaction. Everything happens because of everything else happening.

As man progressed through time, from the natural world to civilization, we became more and more in tune with our conscious mind directly in relation to reason and logic. We "thought" more than any other animal (and still do.) Some would say that this trait is over evolution. Over evolution because humans question too much. We question (in english) instead of simply accepting. The brain doesn't speak english, though. It speaks in sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings. Five different languages.

Remember, the subconscious mind is what we aren't aware of. So does this mean that animals aren't aware of their existence? Can they be? Is it possible to establish a subconscious connection with other subconscious minds and other things in this world!

'Spring Awakening,' a timeless, iconoclastic look


Moritz contemplates his existential plight in the song "And Then There Were None" in the national tour of "Spring Awakening."

Spring Awakening" is no Broadway musical. Which is why it's a Broadway musical for today.

Cleveland on Tuesday night became one of only a handful of cities in the country visited by the superb national tour of this important work of art.

That's when "Spring Awakening" busted open a two-week stand at the Palace Theatre, where it delighted young people who don't generally go in for Broadway musicals, and befuddled and occasionally shocked the older, traditional crowd, which nonetheless hung in there and sometimes even grooved.


"Spring Awakening" is different, for starters, because it's based on an 1891 play by Frank Wedekind, banned for years in the author's native Germany ostensibly for its unblinking look at adolescents discovering their sexuality and their ability to think independently.

Ostensibly because while there is sex (hetero and homo), as well as masturbation, child abuse, abortion and suicide, the threatening thing about the play is that it forces adult authority figures -- teachers, parents, pastors -- to face the fact that they mess up their kids as much as help.

And, it suggests, that we all might be better off if instead of trying to make our kids be like us, we might consider trying to be more like them: Curious, questioning, adventuresome.

Second, playwright and lyricist Steven Slater and alt-rock singer-songwriter Duncan Sheik had no interest in trying to turn this nonconformist story into a traditional Broadway show.

There's much to love in "Showboat," "Okahoma!" and "Guys and Dolls, but those musicals, while timeless, were products of their time. Timeless classics can only be treasured when they're enjoyed beside challenging contemporary work, and vice-versa.

And "Spring Awakening" is timeless, filled with angry anthems about the pain of growing and the stupidity of screwing up, with gorgeous and haunting ballads about being abused by a parent and finding inspiration in loved ones, alive and dead.

The creators and director Michael Mayer make it a play and a rock concert, the kids toggling back and forth from the 19th century to the 21st century, speaking classically but rocking out hard and scratching their itches in Bill T. Jones' searching choreography.
