Now that he has been cleared of molestation charges, I’m sure it’s politically correct to announce this publically….. or is it?

I mean, the guy is a fantastic musician but has a messed up personal life. Working with Quincy Jones is nothing to snuff at, and on the Bad reissue Jones talks about how MJ really developed in the studio from then on. I can tell you this - the Essential Michael Jackson is one alblum that will not be leaving my IPOD any time soon.

And I really feel he did get screwed by Sony on the last alblum. Despite what others say.

I remember we used to make fun of Samir for liking MJ. I would take part in the mocking while concealing my true feelings. He had the minerals back then to stand up and I finally do.. .10 years later.

So there it is - flame away.
