I've been on a HUGE Michael Jackson binge lately. I really started getting into his music since middle school. Ironically the last song I listened to just before he died was Thriller, which is probably one of my favorite songs by him. It wasn't until after he died that I learned what an amazing human being Michael was and how much he did for the world, it's inspiring really. When I grew up, I was always taught by my peers that he was this horrible person that molested kids, so it put me off on wanting to listen to his music until 7th grade. Now that I'm older, and looking shit up is as easy as 123, I can see that his sexual allegations were just bullshit made up by paranoid deranged people who saw a lawsuit as a money grab. The media did such a shit job on covering the 1993 and 2005 trials that it just ruined his reputation, making him seem like a weirdo outcast. Yes he loved kids, but not in a sexual manner that many thought he did (including myself at one point in time, I really regret that). Michael didn't have the ideal childhood as he worked most of his time in the Jackson 5, because of this, when he got older, he wanted kids all over the world to have the childhood Michael never got. He was just such an affectionate person who loved everyone, not just children. I'm glad he isn't remembered for those trials, but for the wonderful music he made and the fantastic person he was.
I originally didn't plan on writing all of this out, but as soon as I started typing, there was so much I wanted to say.
Here's a big list of music I've listened to lately:
I hope I didn't miss too many songs. I tried to include what I wanted to, but yea no joke I could listen to just this list to the end of time. He was an outstanding talented artist, and there will never be another Michael Jackson, but I'm fine with that since his music will carry on for ages.
