You are so right Primetime. One of the things I keep going back to is that you could go almost anywhere in the world...the streets of New York, Paris, London, Tokyo, Beijing and then to places in Africa, India, Asia...places where they do not even have running water and many people there know who Michael Jackson is. They can sing his songs, point out who he is. No one else on the planet has ever had that kind of status except perhaps Elvis. But even with Elvis the population was not as big as it is now and MJ had that appeal to everyone all over the world.
Again, I am not going to debate what he did or did not do. But he was someone who for a time gave so much of himself to others...USA for Africa, his charity work and many other things. He was a man that was loved or hated....but by more people on the planet than possibly any other human being in the history of mankind.
His passing is sad. This is our generations equivalent of Elvis dying. Feel how you want to about his personal life, but do not discount his impact on the entire world.
