For all the candles in the wind
First of all.. apologies for not being able to visit Renderosity for the past 2 weeks.
I will catch up on all your gallery posts as fast as i can. My comments will prolly be a bit shorter than usual. 2 weeks of ebots weighs heavily in my mailbox.#:o)
My almost 10 year old computer hardware died a day later than Michael Jackson.
A week with temperatures around 90F(30C+) was more than my PC hardware could handle.
But i'm up and running again.. though i still need to reinstall an awful lot of stuff.
For this image... of course the inspiration came, when i heard yet another candle in the wind .. burned down too fast.
So i listened to this fantastic duet, and song...which also describe Jacko's destiny:

I was never a big fan of Michael Jackson. Still i admire him for his innovative and progressive singing, dancing and shows. He is without doubt, The King of Pop.
But i admire him most because of his feelings about the twisted world we live in.
He wanted a better world with more love among humans in general... same message as Lennon had.
He also guarded his inner child.. which made him as fantastic as he really was.
Jacko worked his way up from nothing... to being the one of the biggest stars who ever lived.
He spent a lot of time and money on those who suffer in this world... giving.. not just taking like many others do.
I also find it absolutely tasteless... that some people over time.. accused him for all kind of wickedness..Just to get a hand on his money.... a disgrace to see how the law protect a scoundrel cruising for money.
Fame has killed a lot of people, over the passed 50 years.
Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon.. and a lot of others...
And 2 weeks ago, fame killed Jacko too.....i really feel sorry for his kids...because no matter what people say.. he was also a father.
Seeing his daughter speak to the world, about the loss of her dad.. wet my eyes... i must admit.
The media killed all those those stars...because the media never leave stars alone.. not for one second. And that is too much for some.. in the long run.
Marilyn Monroe was more than a beautiful woman... she was also intelligent. Look at what she said....
*Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.*...Marilyn Monroe
*Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.*...Marilyn Monroe
*I restore myself when I'm alone.*...Marilyn Monroe (she was never alone #:o))
*An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.*...Marilyn Monroe

Lars it is such a relief to hear from you again as I was wondering what happened. This image and thought provoking dedication is brilliantly done and very symbolic considering all that has went on recently. My feelings seem to mirror yours on this and I'm glad your back.

Wonderful tribute. Your computer is also a candle in the wind, as they all are. Glad you're back! Stay low. Fame isn't all it's made out to be. The fortune often doesn't make up for what you give up.

Hi Lars, great tribute to all these candles, it's a shame that they had to go so early, I love this very much: "Hollywood is a place where they pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul", dear Marylin knew that a long long time, and she also died under mysterious circumstances!!!

So glad you're back. It's tough when the computer quits. A faithful servant .. and bam .. just like that it's gone. Thankfully you are up and running again. You've expressed your thoughts on Michael Jackson so well ... and I feel the same way. He has been used, set up and abused. How he kept going is beyond me. In the end, all the pressure and publicity was too much. The media hounding him like dogs after fresh meat was and is horrific. They can't even leave him alone after death. They still are trying to make those last dollars off him at his expense. Let the man alone, let him rest. Beautifully done Lars.
