For me the issue of whether he is actually the father of his alleged children is wrapped up with the other charges. The feeling is that his marriages, the “fatherhood” was all meant to cover a creepy guy who may have been preying on children. and i will add that none of them ever dangled a child off a balcony.

that being said, yes, i find madonna and angelina’s behavior to be creepy in that regard, too. and let’s not forget the other weirdness with angelina, like having billy bob thorton’s blood in a vail, and kissing her brother a little too passionately. yike!

All that being said, I still maintain a big question mark regarding the charges. he was acquitted in one case, but bought out another. But given how litigious our society is, maybe in truth he was innocent of all of it, and the lawyer just saw dollar signs. So I won’t convict him, but i won’t acquit him either.

My view of his funeral would be to use that old roman saying: we come to bury Mr. Jackson, not praise him.

That all being said, I am probably going to try to get a few of his old CDs. i wasn’t buying albums back when he was actually good so i don’t have any of his music in my extensive collection. and now i can buy his stuff without worrying too much about what i am funding with my money.

Here’s hoping that those children end up growing up semi-normal.
