Enough already--the man has been deceased for more than a week, & here we are JUST laying him to rest!!!
While on the treadmill earlier I happened to catch part of a news broadcast during which the parents of a soldier who was killed in Afghanistan the same day Michael Jackson died. They were more than slightly miffed that their son had received almost NO recognition for his sacrifice on the altar of Service To The Country--as the wife & daughter of two veterans of our nation's armed forces, I have to agree this is grossly unfair, particularly with the country STILL entrenched in a war in two countries.
Will Michael Jackson be missed? Surely. His musical talent was & remains unquestioned. However, the pedophilia & other weirdness that tainted his life for the past 15 years or thereabouts I WILL NOT miss seeing profiled in the media, & I'm sure neither will the vast majority of other people (one hopes this certainly includes members of his own family, who should be sickest of all about how he's portrayed in the media!).
