Funny how you all judge people. A Republican governors body of work is NOTHING after he has an affair..even if it is consensual and with another legal aged woman.. A Democratic President can use his position of power to influence much younger women into having sex with him..his body of work supersedes that evil. A pop star can change his appearance ..live a LIFE NONE OF YOU CAN DREAM OF...be accused of molesting children..and yet you put him on a pedestal. IF HE MOLESTED 1 CHILD ..and it was shown he did..he is NOTHING. MANNY IS NOTHING. KOBE THE SAME. about 2/3rds of ALL politicians.. Say he was a great dancer,made some good music ..but then went to the DARK SIDE.. only troubling thing is... Those who worshiped him...created a MONSTER... without realizing it. Brilliance often is a companion of tragic events. Our admiration was part of Michael Jacksons downward spiral much like Elvis. Every star should sorround themselves with honest, tough people who will keep them grounded. Then again, Michael did bring most of this onto himself. One case of this, was demanding to be called "The King of Pop" before accepting Dick Clark's invite to be on the AMA show. Dick Clark refused at first, but, finally gave in when he found out Michael would only be on the AMA show if he was called "The King of Pop". This is how the feud between Michael and Prince started. After Prince found out what Michael was demanding people to call Michael, Prince started his shows back then with the words on a big screen that read "Before you can be King, you first have to be Prince".

There's no question that Michael Jackson is leaving behind a complicated legacy.

I feel sorry for him. Always did and always will. Kid never had a chance to have a normal childhood -- a childhood even. What a bizarre life he was forced into and then chose.

I think the same will be true here. If you want to separate some of the accusations of his personal life, you can, but he was phenomenally talented and had a tremendous impact on our culture for more than 40 years. He's had measurable impacts on every aspect of American Culture. He was a one man economic force both for the profit of corporations and for the charity of tens of millions around the world. Few people have ever impacted the planet like he has. True... RIP Michael Jackson...

Gopher, I see where you are going and I'll remind you that when Bush was initially getting buried on Iraq, Jackson was arrested distracting Olberman and company for weeks. I remember a political consultant speculating that Fleicher and Rove were brilliant for coming up with that if it was intentional.
And lets face it, all that music in the '70's could have just been a distraction from Viet Nam.
So are you saying that Jackson isn't dead, but instead he is a government operative who is retiring to the same island as JFK and Elvis? Or are you suggesting that Rahm and Obama took a page from Rove and had him executed to get some coming news pushed off of the front page of the paper?

This is the way he should be remembered. No one could dance like Michael Jackson. Terrible at links but go to You tube and type in Moon Walk- Michael Jackson. We forget after all the strangeness just how amazing he was.
