The news this morning is one drawn out tribute to Michael. Whatever you think of the freakshow that his life turned into, it is impossible to deny his talent. The tragedy of his life is that he allowed his personal peccadilloes to overwhelm his obvious and undeniable musical and entertaining genius.
The contrast between Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett who died the same day is telling. Farrah took a limited amount of talent, combined it with a life well lived and made the most of what she had. Michael took a surfeit of talent, combined it with a life of excess and squandered the gift he was given.
Rest well Michael - some of us will miss you less than others.
