Mark, About what? Did I offend you?

Marc, I agree with everything you said. He made MTV what it is,(whatever it is now), but the whole world didn't like his music. There were people who didn't care for his music. As a matter of fact, George Staight and Garth Brooks sold records at the same time.(I don't have the numbers) I didn't say that he didn't write anything. I just question it.

This thread is about the media and MJ. I called him a "freak" and who can dispute that? Go ahead and say he was normal Mark K but deep down inside you know I'm right.


No, not offended, and seriously don't have my back up or anything...just saying that some of what you said in your post is not true, like stating he didn't write...when he's possibly the most successful songwriter of all time, as far as sales go. Check out Wikipedia for the song credits. You'll find a lot of songs by just him, but very few collaborations with his name on it...so yes, he writes, and no, he doesn't mooch for cowrite credits.

Weird as all get-out? Yep. But I think he was a truly good person.
