and while the molestation charges were super sketchy, i do have to point out that he was not charged with either of them (even after all the settlements & long court cases). odd he was, but in the eyes of innocent until proven guilty, we have to give him the benefit of the doubt that he really just like kids, lived as a kid in Neverland, and that it was the press shit storm afterword that likely added to his already sketchy grip on how to deal in the adult world.

you can’t take away the fact that he forever changed pop music, MTV, and halloween dance parties (thriller dances). and for all of that, i think he deserves the tribute that folks like BET, MTV, the Apollo, and many other places are giving him.

It’s really a shame that he’ll be stealing the attention from Farrah. And let’s not forget Ed McMahon just died too…
