Move On
OK, I’m a little tired of the Michael Jackson thing.
Don’t get me wrong. I grew up “with” Michael. We watched the Jackson 5 on t.v. regularly, enjoyed all the specials they were a part of, I even had a bit of a crush on him as a kid.
As an adult, I enjoyed his music but had a hard time with his ‘personal life’ and yes, it was a shocker when I heard he was dead.
However, I am loath to say that I don’t think all the attention is warranted. Especially still months after his death.
Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t, or maybe ‘won’t’ hold “Wacko Jacko” in the same league with Lennon, Elvis, and Dianna who’s deaths shocked and rocked the world. This is a man who, while a talented artist, did not live his life in a manner deserving of so much posthumous attention. Even if the allegations child molestation were indeed false, there is still the tiny matter of his passion for self mutilation.
My opinion. He lived a sad sad life and while I do hope he is at peace now. Let’s all just let him rest and move on.
