IC- I don't disagree w/ you at all, but I'm not a truster of the media. I find almost everything I'm fed by the media to be questionable. All we know is what they make up. Or what they decide to feed us.
I ain't sayin' MJ was "normal" or "harmless". He may have even been the devil. But I didn't know the man. And what we get from media- or from a professionally-crafted iamge of a celebrity- is seldom the actual truth. I'm just not trustful of 2nd, 3rd and 4th hand sources.
Also- let's not forget. MJ has been compared a lot to Elvis P. these last couple weeks. I loved Elvis' music- but he was FAR from "normal" too. In fact, I think he may very well have been a beast on some fronts, himself. Celebrity really turns good people into whackos sometimes.
I guess the moral of the story is never trust a man in sequins- whether it's a sequinned white glove- or a sequinned size 52 white jump-suit!
