From the first 45 plastic record I peeled off the back of a Post HoneyCombs box back in the 1970's to dancing to "Thriller" at my High School Prom, Michael Jackson accomplished much and gave of his gifts and skills more than any entertainer of his generation but not more than James Brown or Elton John or Elvis Presley. The media had a feeding fremzy on his life which truly made for a saddness and a lack of balance between what he gave the world in terms of "entertainment value" and what he got from the media which was "no sleep til death".  This society truly loves their celebrities to death. What would the headlines of the Inquirer have said about Jesus? Rest in Peace Michael, this post will shortly be deleted in Loving Memory of an Entertainer that made this world get up and dance. Thanks.
