What bugs me is that Michael was horribly reviled in life, yet now that he is dead everyone is gushing. Remember "Whacko Jacko?" How soon we forget. Personally, I feel Michael deserves any and all posthumous honors that are bestowed upon him. I just regret that he was so poorly treated while he was alive. Yes, he had emotional problems. Yes, he was quite an eccentric. A lot of geniuses are very odd in certain ways.

I don't think everyone reviled him lolav, and even many who did still respected his music. I think there were parts of him that reviled himself really. I just know losing a brother for me at least was losing part of myself and my heart reaches out to his family. I don't know if I would have had Janet's strength so soon after Andy died.....I couldn't even breath it seemed for weeks.

My other question is 'where were his family, Joe Jackson, LaToya, Janet, his other brothers, his two ex-wives, Marie Pressley and that other lady who relinquished her custody of the two children, his Hollywood friends, et cetera, when he was having these mental and financial problems?' He was "great and a true friend" when he had all this fame and fortune and he had gold records on the wall? But when Michael's world collapsed, they ran to the exits as rats running from a burning building. He was an eccentric and talented individual, but he died a lonely and sad person.

I know thats right calling elvis thats what i said about his so called friend liza and any body else who said they were his friend if he was on drugs why yeah why did he start maybe he thought he had friends and found out he dont and he was alone but if everybody got together they could have helped him out of his bad situation so he could at least seen his kids grow up an maybe see his grandchildren thats all peopl want in the first place.
