Michael Jackson剛去世，對於他沒有太深刻印象，只記得他在二十世紀八十年代一張唱片〈Thriller〉出版，立刻瘋魔全球，大家一起學他的太空舞步——行路打倒褪。 稍有點印象的，是他還和其他兄弟組成的Jackson 5時所唱的其中一首歌「Ben」，是電影〈鼠王〉主題曲。那時米高積遜十來歲，仍未轉聲，已經參與演出，初從電台收聽時，還以為是一個女歌手所唱。 〈鼠王〉沒有看過，後來手塚治蟲改編成為一輯漫畫，至於和電影有沒有關係則不得而知，內容大致是說一個少年沒有人可以理解，孤獨的生活中和老鼠做了朋友，可是沒有人相信他所說，也沒有人寬容與諒解，連他最親的哥哥也不相信，最終悲劇收場。
Ben, the two of us need look no more We both found what we were looking for With a friend to call my own I'll never be alone And you, my friend, will see You've got a friend in me
Ben, you're always running here and there You feel you're not wanted anywhere If you ever look behind And don't like what you find There's one thing you should know You've got a place to go
I used to say "I" and "me" Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away I don't listen to a word they say They don't see you as I do I wish they would try to I'm sure they'd think again If they had a friend like Ben
