Much maligned, superstar and King of Pop - Michael Jackson - died all too soon, before he had a chance to remind everyone of his tremendous talent, as a musical artist, a choreographer, and the most unique performer of all time ... but seeing all the people pay their respects to him is a relief because people haven't let his extreme eccentricities, his 'wacko-ness' obscure the fact that he was - in fact - an incredibly talented man, but perhaps too-fragile for the world around him. But it's reassuring to know that his talent will live on and that we are much enriched by having "known him"...
NO, I don't believe he "preyed on children" in the way that other pedophiles do, in actuality, the children, perhaps were more inclined to prey on him! That doesn't mean though that I disbelieve the stories about his "un-holy" affection for children, it's just that I believe Michael Jackson was lost inside the person he became.
Here's to a gentle man of extraordinary talent, gone too soon ...
May he rest in peace.
