OK, MJ was a great artist, the man could sing, the man could dance, the man could rock any stage he got on and any music video he made. The man was able to do what very few 80's or 70's artist were able to accomplish; continue to be a sensation, a must see, a big ticket decade after decade.
But I think our love for this artist populatiry is being atken too far and by who other than Al Sharpton. I mean come on, does every Black person that accomplishes something good need to have postage stamps, National Days and every mistake forgiven just because he/she's Black? For crying out loud MJ was just another person, he was no better than any other person on Earth, he was no God and to be honest I am not to thrilled with making so many honors to a person who was weirder in so many ways than Ben Stein. MJ had way too many issues that were never made clear; he lived a secluded life, a drug filled life, a life worthy of a Twilight Zone episode. Come on people, we have more important things to worry about these days; the economy, jobs, Obama (oops).
I am sadden by his early death, I am a big fan of his 80's music, his music videos and his dancing; but even I can admit that it's time to move on. Rest in peace MJ and shut the hell up already Sharpton.
