I was never a huge fan of Michael Jackson.

My grandma really liked his early solo stuff - I remember she was so excited when she bought Off the Wall on cassette. It usually sat between the soundtrack of Oklahoma! and a collection of Steve & Eydie's famous numbers

That was really well put! I've been having a hard time figuring out exactly what it is about his death that is bothering me. I haven't appreciated him as a person or as an artist for atleast a decade or more.. I think he was a strange, troubled, and possibly bad man. Though I didn't always, and I think you might have given me a little insight into my own feelings. Thanks lady! The difference being, i was most definately a HUGE MJ fan during the Bad era.

I do sincerely hope that he is finally happy, wherever he is.

I could not have put that better myself, and I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone else say this. I wouldn't want to have lived in his shoes, not even with his money and fame.

Well-spoken.
