Shawn Stockman on Boyz II Men at Neverland Ranch

por Zimmermann 054: Michael Jackson

The thing Shawn Stockman keeps coming back to about the Boyz II Men day at Neverland Ranch isn't the bumper cars or the Ferris Wheel, though those were part of it. What stayed was being treated like family from the second they pulled in, with Michael Jackson out there waiting to welcome the group himself. Between the rides there were giraffes to feed and a candy store to raid, and the whole afternoon basically turned into grown men playing like kids. Then came the quieter move. Michael took them on a drive to a spot apart from the main house where his awards and gloves were kept, so the trophies never became the point of the visit. That's what humility looks like. Feeling that welcomed outlasted anything they rode that day, man.
