His death is the smaller tragedy within the scope of a brilliant mind and life consumed, chewed up, and spit back out by pop culture and the media, to the point where the dude completely lost his mind.

I wasn't trying to be funny.

I agree, Michael Jackson made great elevator music

This will be yet another profit making excursion, shall we call it

posthumous extravaganza?

I would also blame his messed up childhood.

I really cant believe this, he was one of my favorite artists. SO many good songs from him. Even though he hasnt been the same for a good decade and a half he was still one of the best of all time. RIP

Why was it wrong? He's got a point. Michael Jackson 2000's was not the Michael people liked and idolized in the 80's. Shame , yes. but the fact remains he was brilliant.

that was alfi's ticket
