Breaking news...
Michael Jackson is still dead.
That is all. Return to your regularly scheduled lives.
Okay, I admit, that was a bit mean spirited. But seriously, it's been almost a month and the furor hasn't died down. I'm the first to admit the man was unbelievably talented. However, he was also unbelievably messed up. Yes, there have been celebrities whose lives were lived in a fish bowl and they couldn't handle that and they destroyed themselves. Unlike MJ, though, they didn't have child abuse allegations hurled at them from several different sources.
I'm not suggesting we vilify the man, but let's not deify him either. Please, let's move on.
