“I HEAR THE WHOLE SONG AND ARRANGEMENTS IN MY HEAD. WHAT EACH INSTRUMENT IS SUPPOSED TO DO. I PUT THEM DOWN ORALLY, ON TAPE, THEN I GO OUT AND FIND THAT INSTRUMENT. I DON’T GIVE UP UNTIL I GET EXACTLY WHAT I WANT. I SING EVERY PART WITH MY MOUTH.” Michael Jackson

Throw your barbs and arrows. Sneer at the bizarre eccentricities…then, give him, and every other artist and inventor their due. Those who create and prosper in delighting us rarely live in the “normal world”. We delight in their creative accomplishments and are perplexed by their strange ways, but where would this Life be without them? From Bach and Van Gough to Ogilvy, Jobs, and Jackson, you’ll find the Creative Ones living “out there”. From this vantage point they see what we miss, and bring it forth. Thanks for the Moon Walk, the I-Pad, the Classics, Starry, Starry Nights, and yes…advertising. Here’s to the creative genius that makes us dance, laugh, wonder, react, and recoil. Here’s to those who make this Life infinitely more interesting! Thank you for your tenacious creativity.   ~Mark
