Michael Jackson

Who really died yesterday, around 11.30pm CET?
Hadn't the person called Michael Jackson become a simulacrum of himself in so many different ways? A man larger than life; a star - lost maybe behind and between and among his fame and the imaginary it entails; a black man turned into a white man; a human face operated into an uncanny mask. A body-project. A musical project. A myth. The king of pop.
So, who died yesterday, around 11.30pm CET?
