Michael Jackson was the greatest performance artist of all time. Was a fan back then, still a fan now. So glad to know that he was one of us, a Sega fan through and through. But hey, real recognizes real right?
What isn't comforting though, was his downfall, not because any of the allegations were true (they definitely were not), but because us the public were complicit in believing that they might be true and thus caused his downfall. The world is definitely a darker place now that he's gone.
The man was a once in a lifetime talent. With a genuine message of making the world a better place. Even as big as he was, he was still underappreciated.
