I liked MJ's music. Still do. Some of it was controversial, some of it was funny, and all of it was catchy and that which I could sing along with. As a person, I don't know how I felt about the media antics surrounding him. Yes, he was eccentric. Yes he did/said things I didn't agree with.
But all in all, he was the king of pop, and iconic in the music community. I do think that while his death is a tragic bit of news, it's not something everyone needs to be constantly focusing on, though. He never really was given peace in life, let the man have peace in death.
And of course, now I've got a lot of his songs stuck in my head. My mom's favorite is Man in the Mirror. I've found myself humming They Don't Really Care About Us off and on all day today.
