Money is a more powerful force than people want to admit. I think he did a lot of good in this world to help children but accusations will overshadow that. I hope he is remembered for his ground breaking musical style and Scarletnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080053558852133533.post-88487491493031105972009-06-26T19:18:02.985-07:002009-06-26T19:18:02.985-07:00I will admit to the pedophilia being a dealbreaker...I will admit to the pedophilia being a dealbreaker on how much I idolize a person. It even limits how much I stand up for a person. <br /><br />But I think it's terrible how people dehumanize him. (Nobody here had. I have just heard some really awful joking around that actually made my stomach hurt). I hope that my sympathy for the man does nothing to add to any hurt he may have causedReneenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080053558852133533.post-49322540418795585462009-06-26T17:49:25.097-07:002009-06-26T17:49:25.097-07:00I swear no one loved Michael more than I did in 6t...I swear no one loved Michael more than I did in 6th/7th grade...the Thriller years. I spontaneously cried when he did the moonwalk on tv for the first time. I would stay up late hoping for any of his videos to play on TBS's Night Tracks. My parents surprised Heather and I one weekend when they went to rent videos and brought home the making of Thriller. He was a huge inspiration to music Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820106910702208923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080053558852133533.post-54067993230971622082009-06-26T17:07:22.350-07:002009-06-26T17:07:22.350-07:00Thank you so much for this post.

I got the news at work yesterday when we were all busy reading CNN and AZCentral and ignoring our actual work. A co-worker jokingly said she had to go home because after the news she wouldn't be able to work anymore. Her boss told her to "moonwalk back to her desk and get to work". And oh it was funny.

The artist was a pedophile. If not for his money, he would have been the creepy guy who was on the 10:00 news with all of the neighbors talking about how they always knew something was up with him/knew nothing about him. His artistic impact is undeniable, Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208932485871174357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080053558852133533.post-38076203704728228512009-06-26T14:37:05.155-07:002009-06-26T14:37:05.155-07:00Everything that I have felt and everything that I ...Everything that I have felt and everything that I have tried to say you just put into words for me.

He was a person and a great great artist. Renee, we're sensies and we just understand other sensies. Some of the cruelest jokes have been made about him in the past day. Stuff I don't even feel I should repeat... and I don't offend easily.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17638512029401567876noreply@blogger.com
