For whatever the reason, I decided to spend a half hour looking at back to back Michael Jackson videos on some entertainment channel that I normally never watch. The first one was "Thriller" and I enjoyed that song when it came out years ago, so I figured what the heck, I'll see some more of this man's offerings. After a few weird, crappy vids they then played "Billy Jean" which I also enjoyed.
What I really witnessed was the transformation of a young, handsome black man into a whited-out freak. The whiter he got and the more he hacked off his nose - the more he grabbed his crotch.
I also was exposed to my first sports Tampon commercial.
I tuned into the NASCAR race after that.
It really is a shame that everyone around Michael never tried to intervene, to stop him from stewing in the hellish juices that was the crockpot of his life.
He was a money tree and his friends and family shook him until all the fruit fell off. What was left wasn't pretty.

Yeah, his mooching entourage milked him for everything they could get, and once he started to dry up, they tossed his empty husk in the dumper.
Fredd - They are still squeezing the corpse; using every means possible to sell more of his recordings.
Your last 2 sentences: bingo.
Very sad; tragic really.
This poor kid was never more than a meal ticket for other people.
And maybe that's why he diddled with kids. They were the only ones who never used him.
"They were the only ones who never used him."
Power over the powerless...
My husband & I were talking the other night about people who've been so exposed by fame/celebrity/notariety, etc. - like Tiger Woods, MJ, Elvis, Britney Sp., etc. Human beings were not created by God to withstand that kind of psychological, spiritual exposure. It's soul torturing - even while being subjectively pleasurable. That, friends, is how Evil works - with a wink & a smile, & gift-wrapped ego strokes.
*eeeeek!*
The only time I watch "Michael Jackson" videos is when they're parodies by Weird Al. Just Eat It!
Susannah - you're right. Evil deceives so you welcome it in. Seldom does it come crashing through the door.
Snarky - I saw a special on Weird Al last month. He was afraid to ask MJ for permission to make a parody of Beat It. He said MJ was very gracious in granting it.
Michael Jackson was created by his fans
