Trisha:
I really never liked Michael. He really was more of a ballerina than anything else. His death... he was no John Lennon. John Lennon was political and intensely engaging in his conversations.
Gabriel:
I used to think of Michael Jackson as some phenomenal figure. He did a wonderful moonwalk. He sang many wonderful songs. My favorite was Billy Jean. I always knew that Billy Jean King was not his lover. He became such a Caucasian freak later though, sleeping with boys and putting wine in their drinks. Maybe it was the Scientologists, maybe it was child abuse. Either way, he is responsible for his life.
Cindy:
He was a phenomena. I loved Michael Jackson, everything about him. Gabriel was ashamed of Michael because people called him a faggot if he liked Michael. It's fear that determines his thoughts. Michael was an American original, creating music that was filled with pleroma. It was the most spiritually uplifting pop music in the world. They expected him to be a Messianic figure. Bob Dylan failed. Everyone failed to meet such expectations.

How very Christian of you Steve. His body is hardly cold, possibly murdered or 'enabled' to death and you are already seeking to besmirch him for your own glorification.

Aren't we all responsible for our lives? Yes, a very good and balanced piece Steve.

He had his flaws as we all do.
His death is still a sad event and regardless of the stranger aspects of his character, he was a talented individual and will no doubt be missed by many people.

You're right. I'm a Catholic.
You're responsible for your sins even if God forgives you.
