He was an amazing entertainer and performer. He was also a very very troubled man! Contray to what Al Sharpton said at his funeral, Michael was indeed "strange" in so many ways. The truth is everybody knows that and couldn't put up a defense against my sentiments. Nevertheless, the man was very gifted and I will miss him for sure. In fact, I already purchased one of his new CD's as a reminder of his legacy. Just thought you should know how I felt. The Doctor! Hey Jester:

So many people have been hesitant to give Michael Jackson the credit that he is due. No one will ever know what was true of untrue regarding the allegations of child abuse - but Jackson's genius is irrefutable. There will never be another Michael Jackson. .-= Nina´s last blog ..<a href="http://readerwritesmith.blogspot.com/2009/07/waiting-part-two.html" rel="nofollow">Waiting, part two</a> =-.

It was like the world stopped for him and that was the only thing that happened that day, week, month, year.

The Jackson family and MJ's friends have not control over the medium and how it gets used and how you don't like it. (the following does not apply to Hilly or Becky that I know of) That's not how I heard it playing out. It was complete disrespect for MJ and his memorial service. People were dehumanizing him, making jokes about him, calling him a pedophile, etc. on the day other people were trying to celebrate his life and mourn his death. It was rude. .-= othurme´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.immunopressed.com/2009/05/28/hey-everybody/" rel="nofollow">Hey Everybody!</a> =-.

While some parts of MJ’s life were a bit odd compared to the normalcy of the collective public, I’ve always felt his music was his legacy and will stand on top, over and above all of the media attention to his personal life matters.

And yet I'm still having trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that he's gone because in my life he's just always been there. Very eloquently stated. xo I enjoyed his music and understand the tremendous change he brought about but was never one for all the hype.

However, that doesn’t mean that I begrudge those that do. I don’t agree with MJ as a person but yes, he did make great music.

Like Becky though, holy crap super-tweeters, we get it.
