Shout out to big brother Dave for this great perspective, written well old grasshopper...
"What's your Beef?.... First I dont condone everything that Michael Jackson did, but whats up with some of the haters...let me try to put this in prospective....He was on stage since he was nine and with extraordinary talents, trying to live in an ordinary community..Some basketball players dont get famous until 16 or 17 and they still have problems adjusting to their fame.. What about childhood actors who reach adulthood and never able to adjust..Cmon!!! cut out that Wacko Jacko!!!.....Michael is a musical genius, and an artist.... who doesn't know an artist who isn't extreme?.... Einstein was a genius...and everything he did wasn't overshadowed by that fact that he was married to his cousin....Warren Buffet is one of the riches men in the world but no on talks about he has a wife and has lived with his mistress for over 30 years.... We are ordinary people who have problems adjusting to regular life... well imagine if you were recognized everywhere you go in the world!!!...not your neighborhood, not your city, not your state, not your country,...but the world!!!! There are some national leaders who aren't recognized in the world..MTV wouldn't even show minority videos until Michael's Thriller...and how many musical artist can you say changed the world?....I know he looked funny and I know he had strange behaviors...But Michael Jackson is and always will be an Icon in the music industry...his music wasn't white music or black music..it was the music for the people, you can't even say you like music without respecting what Michael Jackson have done for the industry.... There are few, if any musicians from the past and present who can even touch the feet of Jackson's accomplishments...so hate if you want to but i will always be a fan...so stop hating and let Michael R.I.P.and enjoy the memories and the music he left all of us..." This was a public service announcement...not back to Billie Jean...by Michael jackson...
