My magical moment with Michael Jackson:
I'll never forget walking through Prague at dusk one spring evening with Peter. It had just rained, we could smell the cool dampness and the cobblestones reflected the lights in the little streets off Staroměstské náměstí. The tourists had gone to dinner. The streets were quiet. And then all of a sudden they weren't...
Music floated through the darkening streets, softly bouncing off the old walls and filling the air. Michael Jackson was in town, doing a concert up near Prague castle. The breeze had changed and with it floated the faint notes of "Earth Song." Every time I hear that song I'm immediately taken back to that beautiful night, and that haunting music.
