Do we have to lose someone or something to realize how important and amazing he's? We were busy judging him when he was demonized by the tabloid and driven nuts by the paparazzi. We totally forgot how much we had ejoyed his music and how he inpirited us until he's gone.

I've been heartbroken since he died. I remember when I worked for a hospital, those songs 'Give in to me', 'You are not alone', Thriller....were what a great diversion from that tiring job, and at that time, each of us colleagues had different icons, but we all identified with MJ and MJ's music. But we were still into the crazy tabloid thing, we forgot that MJ was also a sensitive human being, he may not have been able to take all the pressure... his brother Marlon set it off: How much pain can one take?

Now he's gone and never coming back....

He is being violated even after death. Why do they need to publish how many scars he had etc. - something he had meant to keep private.
