He made dance music about zombies and people trying to get money from him and his self-absorbed loss of his childhood. He did not overcome, he has not prevailed, except on white bankers pieces of paper. Thank you for this space and I've said all I want to now. Think about people homeless families on the street of your town or in Tehran fighting for scraps of freedom instead of this entertainer who overdosed and who many that crossed his path in real life have some very bad things to say about.

Stevie Wonder enjoys a different kind of celebrity. He didnt have to wall himself off, because there was no risk of fans trampling him, which was the case anywhere Michael went.
As for your last sentence, it's definately noble to think about the needy, and even more noble to help them, which MJ did his whole life. no other singer gave away even near the amount he did throughout his career. so how about, instead of spewing hate in words more or less refined, we just take this page out of the book and do something nice and helpful for others in our own field.
