Keeping Score

My Take on Michael Jackson

by Gene | July 11, 2009

So I have to give my opinion on this. It’s too big for me not to.

I have been listening and hearing it all. It’s kind of hard not too (especially cause my mom is so into it). But it made me think of this:

He will not be remembered 20 years from now for the great music he put out or the tremendous amount of charity work and donations he did and made. He will be remember for what he alledgedly did wrong.

I’m not here to throw stones (I have done too much wrong for me to judge this man) but the allegations are serious, but I feel he has done more good than wrong. The man put out some of the greatest songs of today’s generation. He put out “Thriller” for goodness sakes. He has so many hit songs its insane.

He may not have been a perfect human being, but who can say they are? He touched countless people and influenced many more. When was the last time CNN broadcast somebody’s memorial service?

I feel that he set the stage for many of today’s top performers. He is a great dancer and entertainer who will be greatly missed, but will live on thru his music and kids.

RIP Michael Jackson The King of Pop
