I loved Michael Jackson. Always. I had a huge crush on him after seeing his old music videos when I was 4 years old. He has always had a great influence on me as a musician. Some of the first songs I ever learned to play on the bass were his songs.
I agree, it's ridiculous how everyone who hated him at one point loves him literally to death now.. But, I also hate it when people don't acknowledge all of the things he did in his life time that were GOOD things. At the end of the day, he was an extraordinarily talented man, like his music or not; you can admit that.
Hopefully the after death obsession will end, and he will be remembered for his talent; not the news stories.
