He was one of the most creative stars ever. I grew up with him. Its strange that all of a sudden he's gone forever. I have so many memories of school dances and roller rinks and car trips playing his music. It feels like the end of an era.
He's gotten so much coverage lately on all the news stations.. I'd rather see them celebrate him rather than tear him down in the way they report about his life, I mean yeah he was strange but good lord he just died.. I'd like to see them give him a break just once if just for his family. I see him so often on news now it just seems so obsessive.. There are people dying brutally in Iran every day.. Id rather see more about that honestly.

He was a great performer. I loved the J5 through Thriller. His later stuff sucked in IMHO. I never knew him, he was never convicted, so really I got nothing to say about his life. Having said that, it just goes to show what motherf***er fame is.
