Michael Jackson was always a tragic figure, pretty much from birth thanks to an abusive father. I am of the persuasion that the accusations of pedophilia may or may not be true; I think between the psychological damage he got in his beginnings and the weird things that fame of that magnitude will do to your brain he could've been so honestly unaware or dismissive of social norms that whatever happened with the kids COULD have been completely innocent. Man, he was something like 40 million in debt when he died, and the saddest thing about it is that it's entirely possible that all he wanted was to have and share the childhood that he never had. aaargh it makes me so sad It’s been a while since a celebrity death has made me as sad as this one.
