The hype surrounding Michael Jackson is so totally ridiculous.

A shame he died so young, no one would want that, and it must be hard on his family and children.

However, he wasn't the greatest ever musician. He had a couple of good songs, he was an entertainer, but he obviously had a very unconventional childhood which caused him to behave the way he did as he got older. Inviting children to his bed was stupid, the parents of the children that allowed it were stupider still. Michael Jackson set himself up for ridiculed, to be vilified, and for a big major fall. He didn't know how to live and even if it was because of his upbringing that made him act like a big kid, there is no reason what so ever to put him on a pedestal and blow his death out of proportion.

I woke up to the news this morning. It is like nothing else has gone on in the world. All day long there has been celebrities, Uri frigging Gellar and any one else who claims to have known him personally, been best buddies with him singing his praises and making out that due to his untimely death it will be a sadder world without him.

It will not.

He was never the greatest. No one deserves that title. Some people were not fans and don't need to hear about it 24/7.

I am just waiting for all those 'fans' that got their tickets on the internet, from various touts to start bemoaning about money they have lost as there is no longer any show to see and they can't get them refunded.
