Michael Jackson: My Thoughts

Before he died, Jackson was the butt of every joke. He was called weird. He was called strange. He was called a pedophile. He was called eccentric. People made fun of him. But after he died, everyone came out of the woodwork praising and declaring their love for him. He was called a genius. He was called the King of Pop all over again. Any kind of jokes toward him was blasphemy.

You know what I call those people? Hypocrites.

The guy was weird, strange, a pedophile, and eccentric. Just because a person dies, doesn't change those facts. You can also add in there drug addict. He was a drug addict. He overdosed on pain killers. No one forced him to do it. No one put a gun to his head made him inject himself. Michael Jackson overdosed on accident.

Now people will say, "But he was never convicted of pedophilia." Yeah? And? The evidence is still there. The reason why he was never convicted, he paid the victims families off. Ray Charles could see that.

The guy was a hack and a has been. He has a few good hits. But ultimately, the rest of his career was utter shit.

A few years back Michael sold most of his Beatles rights to Sony to recoup the costs of keeping the real parents of his kids quiet, various lawsuits and poor sales of Invincible. I remember I used to see displays of Invincible cds at grocery and convenience stores all the time.

Thriller is supposed to be this amazing album but the group Toto was doing most of the work and got little to no credit or praise for their efforts.

I don't see why some fans get personal when they see an MJ joke. They started ever since he became white/light skin and most of this cry baby-fans were not even born yet.

I call this sort of shit recreational grieving. It's been going on ever since Lady Di got killed. Everytime a celeb dies the world shuts down. Yet these people can't be bothered to so little as send a damn sympathy card when somebody they actually knew dies. Oh no it's much too inconvenient to be bothered putting in an appearance at the visitation for one of their own relatives yet they'll be glued to the damn idiot box watching maudlin interviews and the funeral procession to the cemetery.

And then we see commemorative merch by the barrel full. All kinds of tacky doodads, dolls, and coins that will be cluttering every garage sale 3 years later right alongside a Big Mouth Billy Bass, naked barbies, McDonald's happy meal toys, and countless 8 tracks and VHS tapes.

Don't get me wrong I feel bad for their family and friends. But life goes on. I'm not gonna waste mine mourning people I don't know and who probably have no concept I even exist.

I think the problem is people aren't differentiating the man from the music. His questionable past is covered up by his songs. Bad person? That's up to you. Good music? Fact.

Define crap.

MJ's career died in the 80's.

along with his melatonin and taste for vagina.
