Super Whimp--Finally Buried

As you can tell from the title I am not a devotee of Michael Jackson, who I have been calling "Super Wimp" since the late 1980's or early 1990's. Sometime after the Pepsi incident and about 6 months before he was accused of child molestation.

I started calling him Super Wimp after hearing him speak, at some gathering, with an infantile, plaintiff voice. My opinion of him didn't improve any after watching him dance in some gold shiny crotch emphasizing outfit which he further drew attention to by grabbing his crotch and bumping and grinding his hips.

Obviously many felt he had talent and charisma, which I can't pass judgement on. His legend will grow in time as many forget all of his bad traits--some as yet hasn't been expanded on: such as his desire to look like his dear friend, Elizabeth Taylor. Why no one has compared his looks with hers and seen the similarity, I cannot understand--but there it is, the black cropped hair, the thin petite upturned nose, ....

His dying when he did mercifully stopped his slide toward anonymity. Would his latest show been a flop? Where would he have been if it had? We'll never know now, all we can do now is speculate. His dying before his tour may have been the best thing in keeping his name and fame going. He was 50 after all, just coming out of a long period of self imposed exile, and letting time delute the rumors of being a pedophile. His drug dependency was exacting a heavy price as well, which would have further besmirched his fame.

Oh, well--there is always the "Moon Walk".
