The Moonwalk, Backwards

I came across this old Blog posted in 2009, had since then forgot all about it. A friend of mine imitating Michael Jackson's Moonwalk today had reminded me of the marathon moonwalk, backwards, by a group of MJ's fans to honour him one month after his death.

Some 200 men had congregated at the Monument of Colon of Barcelona on Sunday, to have their annual walk race, backwards, from the most centric and confluent Rambla, to reach the Plaza Catalunya, at the rhythm of the Moonwalk popularised by Michael Jackson. The participants this year wanted to pay homage to the King of Pop at a month since his death.

The information given out by the local police says that, of the 200 participants taking part, all wearing something identifying them as their idol, the single white glove for instance, only 50 had completed the backward walk to arrive at the Plaza Catalunya. Many reckoned that walking backwards for a fair distance was not as easy as they thought, trying to do it with Moonwalk steps and other imitations made it doubly difficult. But the message rendered was clear; they all wished to remember and honour the King.
