Michael Jackson hit big time (in my world, at least)in 1982 when I was 15 years old and I had a massive crush on him. His "Thriller" album was one of the first records I ever bought. (I still have it on vinyl - those of you born in the "Saved by the Bell" era might have to Google that word if you don't know what that means!) I loved "Thriller" so much that I then purchased it on cassette (to roll with the times) and then again on CD and have since purchase multiple videos on iTunes. Though I admit he became...eccentric (to put it nicely) later in his life, he was still a iconic brilliant singer & dancer and he changed the face of pop music.
I am of the group of people who don't believe the sexual abuse allegations he was plagued with in in his life. (For those of you who disagree, the 1993 case was closed for lack of evidence (and he only settled so that he wasn't dealing with the case for years as was threatened) and he was tried and acquitted in 2005!) We all have our own beliefs and are entitled to our own opinions. It's just mine are right and yours are wrong! (tee hee hee)
I know he will in death, become even more revered than he was in life. Just go to iTunes and see that the top selling songs, albums and videos are all of his. Rest in Peace, Michael.
