God rest his soul.

I've always felt a certain amount of sympathy for MJ, not regarding all the various serious allegations, but about the way his life went sideways. Here was an exceptionally talented little kid who basically made his whole extended family very wealthy. He likely never heard the word "no" at any time. Nothing was too much for him to have. He never grew up because he never had to. Arrested development... was allowed (or worse: encouraged) to remain a child all his life. This doesn't excuse anything he did but I think it's a reasonable explanation of how it all did.
