I honestly don't care for the "pop stuff" nor agreed with some of the stuff he's done... Probably right, he did get a shit deal. Especially from all the paparazi all these years and media. He had a lot of bad shit done to him too...
Of course, it does go both ways. Honestly, I did have a poor opinion of MJ for a long time, but caught some news stuff, covering all the suff he's done, and how he inspired a lot of people, just a few days ago.
Having been through a lot of shit myself, I'm going to let some ill opions go. freakin sakes the guy has passed on. Whether we agree or disagree, the fact is, he has led a legacy in pop culture. He probably did some bad stuff too. Not once, but he was accused multiple times. So, maybe that is why my opinion lessened, because of all the media coverage and biased arguments.
Hell, I was biased.
Am I a fan of "General American Pop Music Culture"?, not really. Maybe even narrow, but in the last few days, I for one, will let some stuff go.

So, you would have preferred Michael Jackson if he had been Leonard Cohen ?
