I have been thinking a bit about Michael Jackson passing away yesterday. What a supreme talent, what a singer, dancer, songwriter. What a flawed personality. Sadly, Michael does not have the legacy that should have been his, as one of the greatest entertainers of the modern era. Maybe the best. Instead he will be largely remembered for his eccentricity, his silly stunts with his baby, his failed marriages; and most of all, his questionable relationships with children. Personally I believe that if Michael had been judged according to his heart, he would seem much more likable that his actions might show. Perhaps he was misunderstood in many ways. But perhaps too he was the victim of his own fantasies and publicity. I will remember him for his music (and innovation in the industry), which I enjoy to this day.
