shit man i watched some of his live shows on tv the last couple nights and i gotta say, seeing those changed my opinion about him as an artist and entertainer, i mean, shit.. mj was a bad mofo back in the day. always put on a hell of a show..
BUT, I have had my doubts about his innocence in the child molestation case. Part of me says, that it's possible that he didn't do anything to those kids... but certain aspects of his lifestyle totally obliterate my thinking that he was falsely accused.
Things like living in an amusement park, dangling your child off a balcony.... umm the fact that he used to be black, got a shitty nose job and tried to look like the bearded lady... Those make me doubt that he was innocent.
Still though, nobody but jacko and those kids know what really happened. So still I reserve judgement on that matter. The one thing I am for sure on, is that he was a great artist/producer/entertainer.
