I obviously don't know

the truth of the matter, but I had assumed, as many had, that Michael Jackson was probably a child molester and had bought his way out of prosecution. There was an interesting guest on the Today Show, this morning, with Matt Lauer. The guest, an author, had done considerable research on the trials and the children/parents involved. It was his conclusion, after interviewing dozens of them, that MJ was 'definitely' not guilty of the charges, and, if you remember, the jury said the same thing. In his well documented opinion, the parents, and agents of these kids, had seen an opportunity for blackmail, which they did, and then went after more $. Jackson, after putting up with continued lying, and terrible publicity, for months, finally said, 'Do whatever it takes, pay them whatever, I can't take it anymore.' If this is true, and I tend to believe it might be, I feel sorry for the talented musical genius who never had a childhood. True, he was strange, but many icons are, and he didn't deserve that. Bottom line, he was an amazing singer, writer and dancer, with the largest selling album of ALL-TIME. I caught a bit of the MJ Memeorial Show, where several artists sang, on, 'We Are the World', that he wrote, then his daughter Paris, while crying her eyes out, said how much she loved and missed him. It broke me up...
