I must say that I don’t understand all this fuss about Jackson. I don’t think that his music will stand the test of time.
I like his music but I’m not sure what future generations will make of his weird image. No one seems to want to call him mentally ill, but I think he was. If people have decided it’s OK to love him even though he was such a troubled person, maybe that is a positive thing.
