My View on Michael

Michael Jackson has gotten a great deal of media coverage since his death. Foxnews.com reports today that a family is upset because their son (military) died in war on the same day MJ did and isn't getting any media coverage. I understand their frustration, but the media reports things that sell! Although this young soldiers death was in the line of duty and should be appreciated more than MJ, it doesn't sell papers. Secondly, Michael Jackson is the King of Pop. He is the greatest entertainer this generation, and possibly any generation, has ever seen. Disregard his private life (although not much of his private life was actually private).  He was never proven guilty on any sexual misconduct. Sure he was weird, but wouldn't you be if you were forced into entertainment by a psycho father before you were old enough for kindergarten? If you never had a normal childhood? I'm not making excuses, but he had mental issues and we never though that maybe he needed help. He was searching and he found his help in the form of drugs. I can't control how you remember Michael. I hear the jokes and see the complaints. But one things is inarguable, nobody in the history of entertainment or in the future will be able to do what he did on stage! A legend has been lost!
