I'm amazed at the amount of slack that the general public has cut for Michael Jackson with all of his transgressions over the years. Lesser public figures would have been crucified for some of the stunts he has pulled. He has been nothing but wierdness and questionable behavior for almost 2 decades and yet he endeared himself in our hearts indelibly with those first few albums such that he is still beloved. That said, he was entirely too young to die and I am sorry for his children and family. Michael, you were a wierd a$$ individual, but it doesn't get any cooler than this:
