Michael Jackson

So is it 'Poor Michael Jackson,' or is it 'Michael Jackson's at it again'?



He is the King of Pop, selling his first solo albums, Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad (the latter of which Prince said he had to call Bad as Pitiful wouldn't fit on the album cover), and continuing to be a best-selling star in many countries, all the way through to 2005. He starts an innovative choreography craze that includes original moves and vocals imitated the world over. He starts (or stands alone in) fashion trends'one glove, black and white and white. He starts cosmetic alterations. And he starts commenting on his own greatnesses. First he is king of pop, then he is a picked-on victim (is Jesus Christ)'and still is 'picked-on'.



He's quoted as saying such god-like delusional comments as 'I love E. T. 'cos it reminds me of me. Someone from another world coming down and you becoming friends with them and this person is, like, 800 years old and he's filling you with all kinds of wisdom and he can teach you to fly.' and ''But still I must achieve. I must seek truth in all things. I must endure for the power I was sent forth, for the world, for the children. But have mercy for I've been bleeding a long time now.'



Then he is accused of child molestation by a kid who drops the case when Michael Jackson pays his family (or makes a charitable contribution to them), to support them in their treatments for the accuser (a 13 year-old with cancer at the time of the allegations). He is accused of contributing to the delinquency of minors whom he allegedly plied with booze, allegedly shared Internet porn with them, and allegedly masturbated the boys'to 'show them how to'.
