Has been an interesting past week with the death of Michael Jackson. Hard to watch a news story without a large portion being dedicated to the latest MJ news. These are my reflections over the past week...
- MJ clearly led a troubled life... least of not which was reflected in his obsession with bizarre plastic surgery transformations. I read a quote somewhere which was supposedly from one of his plastic surgeons. He said... "MJ wants to change from a black man into a white woman"... strange...
- Michael had an unusual and questionable relationship with young boys. MJ's good friend Quincy Jones said he could not understand Michael's fascination with having lots of photos of young white boys on his walls. A number of victims reporting sexual abuse have surfaced, on top of which previous employees have supported claims... yet strangely these claimants seem to have withdrawn their claims with undisclosed settlements, believed to be in the millions of dollars. One would wonder why an innocent man would feel the need to pay his victims such substantial payouts?
- People often canonize others when they die... forgetting their indiscretions and only remembering their triumphs
- Money can buy most things... and most people... but it certainly cant buy the assurance of happiness.
- Aside from all this... it must be said that MJ was an exceptional talent... and its likely that he will be remembered as such.
