Michael Jackson – Enough?
Now more than a week out from the day he passed away, the media is set to spend the entire day commemorating Mr. Jackson and covering the memorial service at the Staples center in LA. Now I’m not suggesting that Michael in his heyday was anything short of spectacular in his artistic genius. But that was back in the 80’s. By the early 90’s there were issues with an alledged child molestation case settled out of court. His appearance started to change to the bizare and his behaviour was at best described as weird.
Another alledged child molestation case and out of control spending led Mr. Jackson to close Neverland Ranch several years ago.
Mr. Jackson seemed to be a tortured genius and some of his contributions to the world of music certainly need to be acknowledged. But a week and a half later, I grow weary of hearing more speculation on the man’s death. I grow weary of what has been a rather one sided presentation of his life (most of the weirdness has been under reported).
Please let the man rest in peace and the rest of us move on to more productive issues.
