To beecnul8r: Judging from the contents of your comment, especially at the very beginning, Hollywood is not the only Nutzoid place on earth, and certainly has no monopoly on ignorance. However, Michael Jackson was one of the most talented entertainers that ever lived. And his legacy will forever speak to that.
Well, as the pundit said, MJ was born a young black baby and died an old white woman. But seriously, where did he get his managers? Sound like they ripped him off and were very instrumental in killing him....especially his crazed MD who was giving him drugs that are only used in a surgical environment. Nutzoid, like much of Hollywood.
My prayer for Michael is that people will let him rest peacefully,
with his dignity restored. No more hypocrites needed, they who tells everything now that they
should have told him when he was still here with us, and especially when he needed it most.
I loved him most for his vulnerability, when he was at his weakest. Then he was human.
When he was godlike, he was unreachable and many projected their own desires on him.
He was used and exploited, worn out and people draw benefits on his naive generosity.
He was caught in the poisonous spiders web, and no one came to his aid. He fell, and no one came and offered him help to raise up again. Thats a shame for us all.
I think of him that he walked in disguise, in more than the mere physical sense.
He had an inner topography that were hidden to the outer world. He had all the passwords, all keys to the souls most inner hidden ways. In some of his texts and music, there are apocryphical passages. His voice and music fits in places where death has lost its powers.
Let his memory be untarnished with all commercial tributes of any kind, where the only purpose is to earn money on his name. Let him be, he will live on. His torments are over and his footsteps will continue to leave their marks.
