Watch any music video and you'll see Michael Jackson's influence.
I for one, loved him, Zen. I just played some of his old stuff in my spin class playlist. Always a great beat. And man... could he move.

Yea... things about his life, particularly later, were unusual. But, when you are person with such an unusual gift of talent... how could you expect the rest of his life to average 'normal'? (normal = by whose standards?) That's how most ecentrics in history work!

I'm in shock he's gone.
