Michael Uniform
“The 'Michael uniform' was all he wore when he wasn't performing: corduroy shirt, usually red; black cotton pants with box pleats, sometimes with a cuff; and his loafers. Ask him why and he'd say, “Bush, if I have fifty red corduroy shirts in my closet, I don't have to think about what I'm going to wear. What a waste of energy and time.”
Practicality aside, Michael's love of play was ubiquitous. “If I only have one choice in my closet,” he told me, “then you won't know if I have had this on for the last three days. Is it clean? Is it dirty? You don't know...” He loved to keep people guessing because it meant they were paying attention.”
