Me & my bloke have very differing opinions on MJ's death. You lot feel differently too. That's ok :D

I've been utterly gob-smacked this whole week. Firstly, by Michael's death. Then by the interest in it (I'm not surprised at all NOW), and thirdly by the folk creeping outta the woodwork with stories.

There's a few reasons it's been the first thing I think of when I get up interested me. Obviously, I feel for him because of the damage done to his ego, his SELF. How do you deal with something so painful while you're immensely talented and (it feels like) the whole world is watching your every move.

I believe he was so damaged that he looked to children, the ones he felt were pure and not vindictive. He was paranoid, scared of other adults because he'd been sheltered to some extent and could never know what they really want with all the hangers-on. Not to mention the physical and emotional abuse. He soon learnt that children when led by greedy adults can become vindictive. That must've battered his head in a bit. I DON'T believe he was a paedo. Doesn't matter what anyone says. I don't believe it. If I'm wrong ... we'll never know. Bite me.

It breaks my heart seeing all the things that could've gone another way, a better way. I reckon a lot are following the story because of that.

He was another human. It all went wrong. I think that's about it really.

Don't we all know someone who went through hellish stuff, got fucked up but smiled through the pain and tried to find ways to make it better? Obviously, I admire that, I'm a moody cow :))

Isn't fair.

(please don't shout at me) :D
