Abstract:
On June 25, 2009 the internet almost crashed. Not just one website, the entire internet. The drug-related death of Michael Jackson wasn't just devastating to the music industry, but to the entire world. Sure people will choose to remember the controversies that encompassed Michael's career, like the "adventures" at Neverland Ranch, the ghoulish complexion, the decision to hang his baby over a balcony, and the fact that at any given moment, the object on his face that resembled a nose could fall off....

We as Americans...and humans..did not treat him right. Yes, he was different, but most people with such genius can't be "normal" like the rest of us. It is so sad to me that he is gone, but I'm so happy his music will live on. The outpouring of love and interest in him really is a true testament of how we really felt about Michael. He'd managed to get deeper inside our souls than we really understood and realized. May his soul RIP.
