Hi all, this may be OT, but I wanted to get my thoughts off on this

"remember it will be for us, the children of today, to make the world of tomorrow a better and happier place"

This line from the intro to History haunts me. It sounds like an old recording, and I am estimating this boy said this around the 60's or 70's.(Maybe someone knows exactly what this quote is?) I am only 15, but those days just seem so much richer and morally correct than the world we live in. Quoting Michael from Earth Song; where did we go wrong? I guess on paper our world is better, but sometimes things look better on paper and they lose luster when brought to fruition.

  • You are absolutely right!

    Princess Elizabeth states these words when she was only 14 years old, here is a transcript.

    In the HIStory album Michael uses many quotes from persons who had tried or success to make this world a better place.

    I've been wondering something....has anybody here ever listened carefully to all the overlapping dates mentioned in the song, "HIStory"? I know some are "just dates" and others are "dates followed by what happened on that date"....but the ones that are "just dates"....could they be numerologically signficant to the Hoax?

    Also, it's been discussed that it is a young Queen Elizabeth speaking about "The Children of Tomorrow"....then you hear a man's voice who appears to say, "I am the Edison Solizar"...Any idea who that might be? I googled the name with no luck....and who is reciting "Mary Had a Little Lamb"?

    The reason I ask is important, I think....many now believe that Michael may have begun planning his Death Hoax as far back as the early 90's....HIStory is from 1995, I believe...so he may have written this song with the Hoax in mind...if so, it could be RIFE with clues!

    Remember Michael's Little Boy voice at the beginning...."I don't sing a song unless I really mean it!"

    OMG! I am CRACKING UP right now! He says, "I am the Edison Phonograph" and what is hear is: "I am the Edison SOLIZAR!"????????

    Not only do I need bifocals, apparently I need a HEARING AID, as well!

    Thanks SO MUCH, Ninanina, for straightening me out!

    Any ideas about the voice reciting the poem, "Mary Had a Little Lamb"?
  • heisinme09, It's got to be Thomas Edison. This is according to Wikipedia. I wasn't around then myself to verify it but I'll go with it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison
