This man will never die, that's something I'm sure about!
However, as sad as it is that he had to pay with his life one way or the other, I'm a little shocked by the power people can insert into a single person.
His music way back when, was great music. I used to love listening to MJ, had the T-shirt and the SEGA game! But I never idolized him...
Not in my 26 year old life have I ever idolized a single person, not one single individual. I still don't and in this particular case, MJ stopped being the great artist long ago. It's the shadow of the once great MJ that lives on.
As for the report stating all the horrific findings on and in MJ's body, I can very well give this credit. TMZ is dedicated to bring news to the fans of celebrities and I'm quite sure that those fans do not want to hear that MJ was drug induced and in a bad shape. You don't even have to be a celebrity to have people NEVER believe you are something else than you once appeared as.
I'm sure we got tonnes of examples of families that refuse to aknowledge that one or more of their loved ones are doing bad things or has been involved in shady business as either a victim or perp. Loads of women that deny that their husband/boyfriend hits and harass them, or vice versa.
It's the same with religion...heck whatever else you might feel very strongly about. You will try to fight off what you percieve as rumours and falsified facts for as long as you can stand doing it.
I find it a good idea not to get too involved with anything, as it blinds your judgement.
If you need an idol, you got one inside you.
