In the period of time since Michael Jackson’s death we have been deluged with MJ overload !
He may very well have been a great performer, however, assigning him the level of Sainthood that the media and fans have done is ludicrous.
His contributions to pop music are certainly undeniable but to think he died for his music or his fans is delusional. His death, however tragic, was from a drug overdose (accidental or homicidal) and he certainly isn’t floating on a cloud counting all the exploited millions being made from the despicable marketing of everything Michael. That is being done by those who have claimed to love him.
If he was, in fact, the kind, gentle, person many profess him to be, he would be horrified at what has transpired. He wouldn’t want people standing in line for days just to see an exploitive cobbled together movie designed to separate fans from hard earned dollars in such tough times.
Even sadder is the publics devotion to an entertainer who died for nothing under a cloud and no such clamor for all the servicemen who have died for something in WW2, Korea, Viet Nam, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other nameless and unknown places for that very same public.
You don’t even know their names but they gave that “ last full measure of devotion” and practically no one cared.
If all those brave souls had not died in the dirt somewhere, sometime, then you would not be able to stand in line to throw money at the profiteers who are using Michael and You one more time.
That's My Point of View Today!
