Jun 27thMichael Jackson…

…The king of Pop sadly passed away. I know I am 2 days late in postign anything however I thought I should pop in here and do so. I won’t reiterate what everyone says about his music and how it has influenced people’s lives, countless numbers of performers and so on – it just goes without saying.
What pisses me off is that a slew of music stars, celebrities, TV hosts, radio hosts, newspaper reporters and so on are thumbling head over heels to sing him praises, and give testimonies of how great he was (and still is). You’re probably saying to yourself “why is this a bad thing, and how can it piss you off?” I’ll tell you why. It is because none of those people where anywhere to be seen when the sex scandal was going on a few years ago. Where was that outburst of emotion, support, display of what he’s done when he was being charged?
Nobody wanted to be anywhere within a spitting distance from Michael then, because it was not the cool thing to do. God forbid somene say something nice about him then. Now when it’s all “the cool thing to do” everyone is a friend of Michael’s, everyone loves him, everyone respects him and misses him (ok maybe not everyone but the vast majority of people and certainly 100% of the national media outlets).
I can’t stand the media all too very often, and it’s usually of bullshit like that.
As for me – I loved Michael’s music when it was the cool and the uncool thing to do. I always thought all those allegations against him were bogus and a way for parents to mooch off money because their kids happened to be taken care of by Michael. I was one of the few to love Michael when it seemed the taboo thing to do, and it pisses me off that all these fair-weather “friends” are popping up like ants at a picknick and the general population eats it up without a single thought.

Rest in peace Michael.
