You gotta’ admit: Michael Jackson was a TOTAL MESS. But, what great music.
Frankly, I cannot turn off an MJ song, but I am totally freaked out by the issues he had kept insisting on displaying to the country. Not only was there the child molestation charges (and he admitted to sleeping in the same bed as young boys), but it seemed as if he was addicted to plastic surgery and — apparently — to drugs.
How can one truly separate these issues and explain to one’s kids that someone so successful and talented can be so messed up? And dead?
Any suggestions?
Anyhow, today I got a bug, opened iTunes and pumped Michael’s greatest hits through the house. Soon, we were all dancin’ machines and were pumped for the day. Not a bad start to a normally painful summer day of early rising for the “big four” kids.
Dude!, I think that being extremely good at something is awesome. But letting the other parts of your life suffer can ruin the whole person.
