Michael Jackson was the first REAL musician that I ever listened to as a kid. I was always listening to kiddie music (music/songs specifically made/recorded for kids). But Michael, I've always been fascinated with him for most of my life. I loved his music, his music videos, Moonwalker, the fact he practically had a zoo of his own and his own amusement park. And I never believed any of the child molestation accusations against him. I always believed he was innocent, that he was victimized just because he felt more comfortable around kids and just wanted to have a "childhood" and be like Peter Pan. He didn't have the greatest childhood while growing up, and instead of having a real childhood, he was working and doing music because his father made him. And the fact that he was constantly made fun of for the way he looked before he started drastically changing his appearance. I do feel sorry for him, and the way he's been treated. (this is just my opinion so please don't judge me for it. If some of you believe he is indeed a pedophile, that's your feelings/thoughts but not everyone believes it).
I will always love his music. The man was a legend in the music world, no doubt about it.
