Remember The Time ???
Speaking of important people, Eddie Murphy is also on the cover. This is rather strange, since even though they were good friends, Eddie is one of the few people who had NOTHING to say after Michael’s “death." There maybe MANY reasons for this and perhaps Eddie has nothing to do with the hoax. But notice where Eddie's position is in the painting. Eddie is place near a mask. As you know, a mask is often a symbol of a person who is hiding or in disguise. Either way, they are hiding their true self or, in some cases, the mask allows them to be their real selves. With this knowledge, I can't help but look back at Eddie's career. You know what is the ONE thing that Michael and Eddie have in common? They are both BIG kids. They like to goof off and have fun. Actually, they have turn many of their favorite goof offs into really good career choices: disguises. As we know, Michael LOVED being in disguises and did it a few times in his videos. These disguises were SO good it was usually hard to tell whether or not it was Michael. However, we also know that disguises have played a HUGE part in this hoax. From trying to figure out whether Dave Dave was really Michael, to all the stories after his death about being in plain sight, but no one ever figuring it out, because he was wearing a disguise. Only a few know (that includes us) that Michael is indeed the Master of Disguises. Of course, only a few. Much of the world does not know this fact. Actually, they made fun of him for his disguises, saying that they were not that good. Of course, in my opinion, I just believe that those were the times when Michael really was NOT trying. However, in his heyday, there was ONE person who was deemed the master of disguises: Eddie Murphy. In MANY of his movies, Eddie usually plays MULTIPLE of roles of different characters that he himself has created. And with his talent of impersonations and just being able to become another person (also with the help of a little makeup , no one could ever guess that all of these roles were done by ONE person. Eddie could truly be the "master" of disguises. Or, at least that is what MOST of the world thinks anyway.
