My 2 cents..He was a child prodigy, turned musical genius {although I personally didn't care for much of it, I acknowledge the creativity and talent it took to pull it off} turned circus freak.
Although it was never officially proven, I think the evidence is pretty heavy against him that he was indeed a child molester, and at the least had a VERY strange relationship with children. The comparisons with Elvis are appropriate considering they both went out the same way...Has-beens and victims/prisoners of pop culture and their own fame..Eccentric recluses in their private fortresses {Graceland, Neverland} surrounded my "yes men" who didn't have the balls to step in and help them, hooked on every drug on the planet,dead from heart attacks way too early, one bloated, the other emmaciated and in the end, tragic freaks.You know this has to be the greatest thing to EVER happen to the tabloids and their T.V counterparts...You KNOW somewhere the producers of "Inside Edition" and the like had to have creamed their jeans at the news of his death.They hit "the motherlode" and this will keep them in buisness for the next 2years! What a sad commentary on society in general.
