When I first saw "Fathers and Sons" by Akimbo at AWA 8, it almost made me cry, not particularly because of the footage, but because of the message behind the video. My father passed away when I was 16 and still in school, and I had to become the father figure to 3 younger brothers, and a sister. But hey, I made it, and thats what counts. The only other video to even get close to that feeling is MJ's "Final Memory", which is touching in a whole different way. I love the fact that MJ can mould emotion any way he wants in his videos and 98% of people will feel what he wants them to feel, whether it be unbridled comic lust (PFS), warm and fuzzy (Liquid Petals, Service with a Smile), or paranoid and goofy (Stop Mocking Me!), he uses skill that I only hoped to achieve with my rage video (Anger Management). I hope I don't sound like I'm kissing ass lol.
