Possible that Michael may have been his own interpretation of a clown?

I found a webpage about Ministry clowns and the more I read the more I thought of Michael. <br /><br />Clown Ministry Theology<br /><br />I will paste only where I saw Michael Jackson in what is written and put my thoughts... <br /><br />
<br /><br />I was thinking about the things he has set in motion through his career, the Masks, the wheel chair and the other little things he did that caused him to be laughed at and many people saw him as less than remarkable, thus elevating their own sense of 'greatness' with in themselves... <br /><br /><br /><br />The makeup, sometimes he looked so white and there was always alot of focus on his nose all the time, don't clowns make a big thing out of wearing a red nose that often squeaks?<br /><br />Is this the reason for it to be called a circus? he refered to his own concerts as a circus, I think in the history tour...<br /><br />From about 5:30 if it doesn't take you to that time already... the address is here which should take you directly to the circus part of his speach http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=5efXJyBHF2g#t=331s<br /><br /><br /><br />Just a thought, it does make sense to me, I'm not sure if it will to anyone else...<br /><br />I apologise if this has been brought up before, I tried checking but I seriously can not get the search to bring up anything relevent of similar to what I want to talk about. <br /><br />Off to bed I think, it's 2:10am..Let me know what you guys think...3. A historic clown idea was based on the idea that "the most powerful person in the world is the one who can give away power." God did this when God entered into human flesh. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus calls on us to be servants. The cross, which was a symbol of suffering and death, now is seen as a symbol of victory and life. In clowning, you give away your power in words and action to become a "fool for Christ's sake" (I Corinthians 4:10).<br />6. God works through the principles of comedy. In comedy there is a "bringing down" of someone and, through a non-heroic means, the person is lifted up higher and better than before....<br /><br />We are called to be "fools for Christ's sake," to be weak so that others can be strong. What an honor and privilege that calling is! (pp. 14-15)<br /><br />
