Yes, lashbear it is a "both/and" rather than an "either/or". I'm just not going to remember him as the person he was during the first 15 years of my life and conveniently dismiss who he was during the past 16.

Not a lot of love in the room for MJ. No doubt the man had his demons, perhaps more then any one person deserved. We can debate if Jackson was a genius or not but there should be no argument that he was immensely talented and creative. His stamp will be on popular culture for as long as there is popular culture (and stamps). Michael Jackson is Elvis. Michael Jackson is The Beatles. Michael Jackson is the 1980s. His influence on dance is incalculable. Just watch an episode of So You Think You Can Dance and tell me if I am wrong. If Michael had done nothing but this video, I'd say he was worthy of inclusion on any list of greats. I do not have a single MJ song on my itunes, but that is a mistake I will correct. I'll miss the guy. I really will.
