Michael I never liked, even for his music. It seemed highly overwrought and repetitive (and, what was with that artificial crotch grabbing stuff?!).<br /><br />His later life to me seemed to be almost inevitable - as ever more grotesque it continued to reveal itself to be. When I heard of his death, a few hours after Farrah's while staining some panelling, my very (very) first thought was "Huh. I guess he finally found his limits." I didn’t think he had purposely killed himself but simply that his was a death waiting to happen - think his ex-father-in-law and his abusing lifestyle.<br /><br />RIP to both but it’s Farrah that I think is the sadder loss. Michael accomplished enormous things in terms of pure entertaining so you have to respect that, but it’s a very tainted legacy. I recall how very uncomfortable I felt, shortly after his pedophile trial when I heard the first of his music starting to play again on the radio. I remember having to switch stations to not confront how I felt about him and his problems.<br /><br />Farrah on the other hand always brought a smile, and not just for prurient reasons (well, not as the years added on….me). <br /><br />Postscript.... how curious. The word verification for this post is "sadays".The Perfect Stormnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-83470036946677797512009-06-27T16:44:45.099-04:002009-06-27T16:44:45.099-04:00Craig, this post impressed me.

That takes a backbone and because you used your writing to speak the truth and in so doing defend a vulnerable group (children), I just may not dislike you so much anymore. Nah, lets not change now, besides, it's a hobby. ;) Oh, and Jackson did tell us he was 'BAD', so why didn't people listen to that Freudian slip?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-66374590579104449022009-06-27T00:29:25.588-04:002009-06-27T00:29:25.588-04:00Hey, I saw the streeter that you weren't in.

Now his kids will be better off (won't be hanging by the railings as he did with his son) I just hope it doesn't affact the rest of the weekend with some of the channels (but probably will) they probably have a movie in the making as we speak of Michael's life...woo-de-fking-doo (but they already made one but will probably make another one.<br /><br />Reader in IQ rambing onAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
