Re: MJ - I am sorry for his kids, but at the end of the day.... I may buck the trend here: Regardless of what he may or may not have been through as a child/teenager, he was a fairly dubious bloke..musical/video genius or not. Feel free to flame...but..you know you agree! Do I give him the benefit of doubt in his death, that I didn't give him in life? Ooh, do you all hate me????
Very sorry for Farrah and her family - such a pity she didn't get married in the end as she'd hoped.
Nobody is more lost to someone that is close...we may well respect someone but at the end of day...we didn't know him/her. Admiration is one thing...reverence is inappropriate in the case of MJ and grief may be a slight exaggeration of fans of FF. People can be sad, but the black hole that is the allegations that have abounded cannot be ignored in MJs case, a respectful sorrow for those who are actually affected should be maintained.
