Couldn't agree more, Deb.

He was never convicted. I wouldn't deny he had an unhealthy relationship with children (he didn't really), I think everyone knows that but that doesn't make someone a pedophile. People close to him had a few theories, one, he never had a childhood and always tried to get it back and experience being a child as he grew older. Someone else close to him said children were the only people he felt didn't want or demand something from him, they were not trying to use him to make themselves rich. He was surrounded by people who used and used and used him. He lived an extremely tormented life that I don't think anyone else could ever imagine. He was very troubled and had so many issues but he was also a genius and did a lot for not only music but the world. He was the first to start the "we are the world" movement which is so big now. Bono gets a lot of credit now but MJ started it all. Anyways, sad, sad day and it sucks that even in death people have no respect for him...why would it change now?!? One of the most disrespectful comments EVER is that "gone to Sweden to..." comment...jeez, have at least a little class.

Do we honestly know he was a pedophile? Are we judging because what the media says, or a family that could well be motivated by money? I was not there and I will not judge. i think we all have been subjected to rumors...
MJ was a huge part of my youth. I recall the day the video for Thriller came out, and the first time he did the moon walk. I was one of those kids that tried to do it, as well as the toe stand. He was a visionary for music and performances. It was sad to watch him change how he looked, he must have really hated himself. It is very sad Farah Facett passed away as well. Remember when princess Diana died, and Mother Theresa passed at the same time... her death was over shadowed by Diana's passing as well. I remember when I was a kid Farah Facett was very famous an we had he shampoo... it is sad she passed away battling cancer, but she was not an icon in my childhood. Micheal Jackson was. His death hit home since I had his posters in my room, and listened to his tape (wow before CDs), and idolized him. He paved the way for what music is today...
