I think of it as The Fool's Journey. I've been asked who the "fool" is. It's me, but in the classical sense of the court jester. Only the fool was allowed to tell the king of his follies.

I have a nightmare vision of an infnite number of psychologists and social scientists sitting in front of an infinite number of computer screens for an infinite number of years to come churning out an infinite number of books dissecting Michael Jackson, the sordid tale of his life and death, his pathologies, and the cultural phenomenon he spawned. It will never end, folks.

John C. this cartoon is very apropos of the situation. I feel very sorry for those three children and what they are going through at this point. Enough already, MJ was hardly the greatest entertainer of the century. Good, yes but not the best.
Agreed, Lee. Nor did he single-handedly pave the way for acceptance of African-Americans in our culture, as Al Sharpton would have us believe. What about Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitgerald, Nat King Cole, Harry Belafonte, and many many others?
Yes Lee... would have to agree. Why put a measure on it? Suffice it to say he was great... and his musical gift and terrific "presence" on this earth will be sorely missed in a world sadly bereft of many more like him.
Funny cartoon John :-D
