You really believe that? I think it’s quite logical to assume that he paid them hush money even though he did nothing wrong. You have to realize that even the allegations of abuse can destroy a career. Doesn’t matter if they are true or not. I agree that he opened himself up to blackmail. If anything he was too trusting of the greedy parents who let their kids spend time with him, knowing full well what it would lead to.

annie, your comments are becoming wearisome. Since you loathed the man, why not get off the thread and leave the rest of us alone?

Saturation news coverage for the next week while the RATs burn down the country with Cap and Trade, appeasement for Iran and NoKo, more bailouts, etc....

Exactly...

Obviously.

I was so disgusted with the unnecessary rudeness that I omitted the noun (in this case, “opinion”).

Sorry.

Exactly. Instead, they’re dressing up in costumes and crying over a washed up child molester who once upon a time made an album that was very popular.

The media is wrong to call mere celebrities IDOLS.

Except for Billy Idol, of course.

Thanks, I will.

I only emailed them one other time. When they were down in New Orleans covering some 50 mph winds, as hurricane season was gearing up again.

Made me so mad, I emailed them "What's with this 50 mph winds in NO, heck that is just good golf weather in Oklahoma."

Don't know, but they quit covering that nonsense.

And we do mourn Neda.

But Michael Jackson was a huge part of our lives growing up.
We feel we “know” him in some small way. He was no more or less significant than Neda, but let us mourn him too.

To the rest of us, its really not that big a deal.

So that's why you can't pry yourself away from the thread. Thanks for the clarification.

No. Seriously, I really can’t help myself.

Also serious about the roast following my own personal demise...

Well then, he wasn't much of a musician, was he?

You're another one. If you so despise the man, why not do us all a favor and go away so that the rest of us can commemorate a man who was demonstrably the largest-selling pop recording artist in the world? You don't have to like him or what he did, but most of us here respect his talent and have compassion for his mental illness. Please spare us your dispepsia, however -- no one is making you read this thread.

The guy never had a childhood NEVER! he was controlled and told to perform like a seal, by his domineering father who beat him and never let his play with other kids....

We was performing in Strip Joints when he was 6 and he knew nothing else but being a singing performer...

Was it right his relationships with little boys? NO.. but he was also a sitting duck for people who wanted to extort money from him...

He did alot for people, and his death should be respected as he was a human being! GOD loves him and I think people should be a bit more respectful.

My one and only comment on this matter.

It is sickening how the MSM will canonize him within a week, when he was nothing more than sick, pathetic serial child molester who should have done jail time rather than gathered cheers.

My prayers to his victims during the past 20-30 years.
