I wasn't a great fan of Michael Jackson. Some of his music was OK but I didn't go rushing down to the record shop to buy his albums - no iTunes in them days. I do admire his success, and though he did appear to go a little off the rails in later life, I've not heard anyone who've met him, describe him as anything other than a very nice guy.
It is tragic that anyone dies at an early age, I feel for his family.
I think it is time to let Wacko Jacko rest in peace, and celebrate instead the showman who was Michael Jackson. May his music live on.

I wish I had written this post. I remember when he burst into fame with 'Thriller' ... I thought and still think it was wonderful. He got kids dancing and singing. Too much, too soon, and terrible advice set him on a path of destruction. What a wicked waste and a tragedy.
