regardless of how strange he was or what he may or may not have to done to those lying boys (well, lying parents) the man was genius. to be so tortured on the inside and put out music and mini movies like thriller, bad, remember the time, smooth criminal, rock my world, i mean damn. he was one sick (in a good way) mofo that NO ONE will ever compare to. ever. and his legacy will live on forever because he's michael. that's all you can say. "he's michael". when i watch his moves in all his videos, even to this day i'm still baffled. he had zombies pop-lockin, he made it cool to be in a gang and no choreographed dance moves, lol, he crossed boundaries and colaborated with countless artists. i remember taping all his videos when they would first drop so that from then on, whenever it came on mtv i would be able to dance with him (and i did the same for janet too!). to think that this man opened the minds of mtv producers because back then they were BEYOND hesitant to put billie jean on their channel.
so think of all that and so much more that i didn't mention and remember that he did all this while battling his inner demons. of growing up in a seriously abusive environment, of his dad calling him ugly every chance he got, of being 50 years old and 35-40 years of that he spent performing non-stop, of him never having a childhood and never being able to move on and become an adult because he never experienced that innocence that most of us are fortunate enough to have had. yes i do believe his obssession with children was innappropriate because he was a grown man but you can't knock him for only being able to identify with kids. it's sad but he was stuck in that stage because that's what he wanted as a child and never got it. he lived vicariously through all those kids he had around him because children in general all had what he wanted and sadly enough that was the only he could experience it. the chance to be kids, to have no responsibilities and be so happy and carefree, to believe in santa, easter bunnies, tooth faries, and all that other stuff we used to believe in.
i believe mj was living a very hard, sad, and tortured life. i don't believe he was trying to numb any physical pain, i believe he was trying to numb his emotional pain personally and i think it's absolutely amazing that as much as his personal life had a negative and disasterous impact on him he was still able to be the genius and icon he IS.
that is all
WE LOVE YOU MIKE!!
