But then again, I lack ESP. Why he shred his face like he did, I do not know. Why people do anything, I do not know. Entertainers like Michael live an entirely different life than the rest of us. There would have to be lots more pressure. They say he couldn't make a turn without his "handlers" showing him how. But he was who he was... and why that irks so many puzzles the hell out of me. PS, I liked disco (big surprise, I know). I think I liked it mainly because it was a much happier time in the world. People just seemed happier. There seemed to be more hope in the world. Then, one day, someone stood up and said "disco sucks!". And here we are now. Oh yeah, this is much better than the 70's! But, since I'm outnumbered here, I'm obviously in the wrong. I'll shut up now. :smile: "...has not produced anything of note."

I just can't think of anyone from his era that is thought of the way he is and yet has not produced anything of note all this time. He didn't pioneer anything and really just mimicked the disco sound of the time. I am not a great fan of The Beatles either but I was at one time and will readily acknowledge their long lasting contribution to music and culture. The fact that Jackson bought their catalog speaks volumes. He was too much product and not enough talent for my taste. ...Oh, and he shredded his face to shit and slept with children. No hatred here, Buck.

I just find it amusing how so many people hate that he had a following. From the way people talk, you'd think Jackson's fan club was as off the wall as Limbaugh's are. It doesn't matter how he got his fame - he had it. And you can't have that without a loyal (fanatical, even) fan base, right? I don't understand why people loved him as much as they did. Equally, I don't understand the hatred that so many had too. Makes no sense. I liked Michael's music. I liked the lyrics and the beat. I grew up on the Jackson's. But I don't own any Jackson albums. I never went to any of his concerts. I'm just trying to figure why all the hatred. You people don't really think I'm defending Jackson, do you?

The same can be said for Madonna. Without MTV (Jackson's marketing vehicle) Jackson would have been just a blip on the pop culture radar screen. The same can be said for Madonna.
