Surprising, saddening and yet 'Michael Jackson', the entertainer I greatly admired at one time, died for me years ago when he went over the bizarre deep end and molested innocent children. (I know he was acquitted, but so was OJ.)
We're the same age and I literally 'grew up' with him, the Jackson 5 and later his solo work. Can well remember so many moments in life punctuated with his music.
Such immense talent. So sad to see the beauty squandered and then gone.
I think Cathy said what I was thinking.
He truly was talented, but, I too lost all respect for him as a human over the years. Anyone that doesn't think he is a pedophile....I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. That fact is unforgivable that so many children will be forever tainted because of him.
I am bothered that every single TV channel has devoted their air time to him for the last several hours. Farrah Fawsett is barely mentioned.
What a sad commentary that the whole world is obsessed by his death and praising him.....his major talent does not offset the harm he has done.
