I respected Jackson's musical talent which was awesome though his musical style does not appeal to my tastes. I did think that him wearing one glove seemed work marketing wise, so I took to wearing one sock. Somehow that just didn't work out for me.
I have no idea of whether or not it's true, but my boyfriend told me that when a cadet was caught masturbating at West Point they made him wear one glove. A lot of Michael's wardrobe looked very military, with epaulets and buttons. I liked the videos of him that I saw when I was growing up, but he's never really been a favorite musician of mine. I lean more toward guitar players as musical heroes, especially people who sing and play guitar.

absolutely. i grew up with michael jackson -i started first grade with an off the wall notebook for chrissakes!!! to this day i still listen to his music and savor all of the memories that are brought back when doing so.
yes, I am one. There has never been an entertainer of his caliber before or after him. He will always be the King of Pop. I love some of his music.
He and Quincy Jones are fucking geniuses. Visionaries.
he has great music and all great musicians have one time where somebody pulls bullshit on them. i personally enjoy listening to and playing his music on my trombone
He was one of the most innovative/creative/TALENTED musical artists/performers of the 20th Century.
Nobody will EVER truly know how his impossibly troubled life IMPACTED upon others. (He was NEVER found GUILTY of EVER harming another human being.) I BELIEVE he was misguided, desperately disconnected and lonely, perhaps looking PERSONALLY for something he didn't even really comprehend... I DON'T believe, (there is NO EVIDENCE...) that he EVER attempted to HARM another person...) WERE SOME OF HIS PRACTICES INNAPROPRIATE? I think they were. Was ANY OTHER PERSON hurt by ANYTHING he did? I don't believe so.
Michael Jackson was TAKEN AND EATEN AND REPEATEDLY SPAT OUT by the Music Industry before he EVER reached ANY KIND of adult maturity. Indeed, THEY KEPT HIM LIKE THAT!!! He was MONEY!!! (That's ALL that MACHINE ever sees...)
That he COULD do what he did, present what he produced, given the UNREALITY of his existence testifies to his talent as a TRUE ARTIST...
His name will be FOREVER LINKED to MURKY ASSOCIATIONS with unspeakable practices, but AGAIN I say, NO EVIDENCE!!!
Jimmy Saville. Rolf Harris. Gary Glitter. Max Clifford et al...
(Michael Jackson WAS NOT THAT!!!) Not AT ALL!!!
The ONLY person that Boy/Man EVER hurt was himself.
(And I PRAY TO FUCK I am never proved wrong...) Because THAT is part of THIS ARTIST's legacy... That DOUBT! (And THAT is a shame.)
