Really just terrible news, my best friend sent me a text when I was out and it just floored me. Another huge loss for the entertainment world, it's been a bad week. Michael was a troubled genius, he was a 50 year old 10 year old kid, and I don't think he had anyone in his life to guide his fragile state. He made bad decisions, I still strongly believe none of those acusations are remotly true, but a 45 year old man having sleep overs with kids like he was is not okay. But no one sat him down and explained why I don't think. No one was there to be his friend, and that pains me. The man is a music god, his work will live on forever, the impact he's made is staggering, it's his legacy, and my hope is more people remember that then the latter years. He changed the ground for all music, the music video, and dance, try to find one star from the last 20 years that doesn't site MJ as an influence. I actually credit him with starting my love of horror, monsters and makeup. When I saw the Thriller video as a kid it scared the HELL out of me, so much so my dad rented me the making of video, and it was in that I first saw how all this amazing stuff was done. Rest in peace Michael, hope you find what you never could here.
