As a kid of the eighties, Michael Jackson was pretty darn cool. And, even when it wasn’t cool to like him, I can honestly say I had a deep respect for his talent as a musician and performer. When I saw the latest Michael Jackson photo and video footage I felt sad, and a little sick. There went another eighties hero. Poof!

Regardless of the most disturbing Michael Jackson photo shown recently, it’s hard not to remember the pop music icon he has always been, and always will be. Whether he’s truly a disturbed individual or not remains to be seen, but he’ll always be a pop icon. Hopefully the man he once appeared to be will be remembered when the recent yet odd Michael Jackson photo is forgotten, and if and when the cloud of suspicion hanging over him has been lifted.
