Forgetting Michael Jackson
Today's MJ day for millions of people. Some want to worship him, emulate him and immortalize him. There hasn't been a pervert funeral this big since Caligula.
Me, I find it deplorable that people find such idolatry in the freak. Yes that's what he was, a freak. A self created human mistake who perverted his life and the lives of kids for his own self gratification. I could go on but why? He's dead.
Whether his music stands the test of time is up for debate. Whether his legend lives on should be.
The sooner he's buried in the sands of time, the happier I'll be for my grandchildren.
Just Beat it......

^^ Flts is just unhappy because all the sitcoms he wanted to watch on tv tonight will be pre-empted for more MJ stories. Furthermore, he's reallllly cranky because his soaps are being cancelled for the memorial service.

This, too, shall pass, Grant. Are you too young to remember all the hubbub when Elvis died? His birthday is still celebrated among his legion of fans.
