For the record, I don't think he was a pedophile. I mean, those people usually have tons of kiddie porn in their house, on their computers, everywhere, but nothing that incriminating was ever found at Neverland. A celebrity like Michael Jackson, constantly around kids, would have had hundreds and hundreds of victims. He had a few accusers with money-grubbing parents, that's it, and was rightfully cleared of all charges in court. He was fucking stupid to keep letting little kids sleep in his bed after the allegations first surfaced in 1993, but I think Michael never matured beyond the age of 10, which is why he loved sleepovers, climbing trees, experimenting with "Jesus Juice", etc. He was abused as a child, then coddled as an adult, then numbed out by powerful drugs towards the end of his life. He never really had anything even close to normalcy, which is very sad.

What he did have, was amazing talent. As a singer, songwriter, dancer, all-around entertainer, I mean, the guy was unparalleled in his time. That is what I will remember the most about Michael, but man he sure gave us a bunch to chew on didn't he? I grew up enjoying his music and videos, then was shocked by the freak show aspect that came with his fame, was horrified by his physical deterioration, and finally, I was riveted by his legal travails. Like I said, he was an all-around entertainer! May he rest in the peace he so richly deserves.
