Michael Jackson

Yeah, I'm gonna blog about it. Wasn't sure if I was, but after watching the memorial today I figured I might as well join in the fray.

So what's my personal opinion? I'm not really sure. I often wonder why he did some of the crazy things that he did. Why did he put himself in situations that were unnecessary. Like sleeping with little boys in bed, and then admitting to it. I mean, I guess it's a good thing that you admitted to it, but what the hell were you thinking when you invited that child into your bed. What were you thinking when you hung your baby, who had a towel over his head, over a balcony stories above the ground? I don't know and sadly we'll never find out.

Now, here's the thing that kills me. I get that this man did some crazy things in his day. But have we forgotten how influential this man was to music. He was labeled as the greatest artist of all time. That says something. His album is the most popular album of all time. That says something. He's known as the undisputed King of Pop. That says it all. His death affected people WORLDWIDE. People cried as if they lost a member of their own family. That's how deep he affected these peoples lives.

It's a shame that he made the decisions that he made which then tarnished his life. It's a shame that those things are now being made a focus when really what we should be doing is cherishing his life and paying tribute to a great man. Just remember folks, what goes around comes around.
