Well said, Raven....

I was shocked at the level of publicity, and the endearments that every celebrity on the planet seems to feel the need to express about MJ in the past few days. Repeatedly, I heard DJs and VJs comparing his death to that of Lennon and Elvis - that they will always remember where they were when they heard. What the....?

Yes, he was a musical genius and groundbreaking artist. However, I do not believe that his talent can or should negate the accusations lodged against him, or the just plain weird things that he did! I think that comparing him to other great artists who have passed does a disservice to their reputations. It seems that his dying has triggered a major case of mass amnesia.
