Michael Jackson concert. Last one ever !

This is a pretty silly statement. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Shame is for the guilty, at best.
Numbers in this case talk.
And stating the obvious bears no guilt.
Hence no shame.

I basically had to dissociate myself from him the person and him the artist. I enjoy his early music...hell even some of the videos and TV appearances. I honestly feel bad for the guy...i mean he's a mess. Besides his behavior oddities...to go on national television and deny he's had any plastic surgery....jeez. I say enjoy the music without the bullshit....if ya can...he doesn't make it easy though. The debate is an interesting one. Would Albert Einsteins or Isaac Newtons work be any less valid had they acted like MJ?

I think you hit the nail on the head.
If Art is the quality of the craft, MJ has been an artist (the past tense is on purpose, him using his body to create it.).
His antics don't come into play when one has to judge the quality of his works.
Sure as heck, there's got to be a line when one (me in this case) loses all the interest about an artist and his productions, when the artist stretches it this far.
I may enjoy a Thriller video 30 years from now, but to watch it these days brings upon me all of the impressions I described in the previous posts.

Sounds like liberal talking points to me.

And that is relevant to stating numbers?

I see where you are coming from. I guess I just find it easier to just see the guy purely as a performer when hes on stage...I dont think about the other stuff, and to be honest, apart from the baby event, theres not much else that bothers me. In terms of the child abuse, obviously no one can say if that is true or not and im not prepared to believe everything I hear or see, especially when you hear of the mums pushing their sons to lie about the abuse to get money from him. Who knows if this is even true?!

to just see the guy

well... see him is to me a problem for starters...yak!

Eh ?? Are you talking about the cost of the ticket ?

[ene.xis]

Chribs.
A skull with a tense, thin layer of skin on.
Ugly as it can be.
And not even by accident...

Politics, paedophilia and 'what is art' all in same place.
We've got every major unanswered internet argument in one thread.

Bah, i give up. The influence of media and other unreliable sources obviously outways the ability for people to keep an open mind...BAH I SAY !
