I’m not narcissistic at all. How arrogant are you to call a middling talent like Jackson trancendental? See, I can trade insults as easily as you can, but that will get us nowhere. I asked you a simple question: what is transcendental about Jackson? You might have liked him, but in twenty years no one will be playing his music. He’s never written one song that can be ranked with the greats. He was an entertainer (and a freak), and if you liked him, that’s fine. But don’t make him out to be this great musical talent that everybody loved. I guarantee you there are tens of millions of Americans who didn’t.

My only response to the likes of you is that Michael Jackson recently sold out 50 concerts in a matter of MINUTES. I understand you were not one of the ticket buyers, but millions and millions of people around the world respected Jackson's talents. I GET IT..you didn't.

I don't know if you followed music in the 70's and 80's, but the Jackson 5, and then Michael Jackson alone consistently drove the sound. So why don't you allow the Jackson lovers to have their mourning period.

Last week, a great musical talent, Kenny Rankin, passed away. I followed him for years, and he was a large part of my teenage to adult years. I felt more when I heard that than I did when I heard about Michael Jackson. Therefore, I can understand how people feel about Jackson. We feel the way we feel. Why do you think YOUR feelings supercede everyone else's? That IS the definition of arrogance.

but in twenty years no one will be playing his music.

hahahahaha! we just had a party where 100 people showed up... we played old MJ music during one segment--from his 1979 Off the Wall album... everyone from teenagers to those in their 60's got up to dance to the medley...
