Granted, as a young man, Michael Jackson was a stand-out performer
from a very talented family. Then we watched him slowly go nuts. He
changed his color. He destroyed his looks with countless body
modifications. At one time he appeared to be changing his sexual
appearance. He hung his infant son over a balcony rail by one leg.

Ummm, no, actually he didn't. That clip has been on TV about a thousand
times since yesterday. While Jackson's act was incredibly reckless and
revealed more about what a messed-up freak he was than we already knew, he
had both hands on the kid's body, he wasn't dangling him by a leg.

He became a nearly recluse nut that built a fairly-land to attract
children.

What in the hell is wrong with a society that regards such a creature
as a fallen hero?

Good Grief!

Hopefully most of the people mourning Jackson are thinking of when he was
undeniably a brilliant entertainer. Not my cup of tea, but it would be
silly to pretend he wasn't extremely good as a performer. Too bad he lost
his mind along the way of course.
