well said and good analysis.
My 11 year old daughter and I watched the Jackson's miniseries last weekend on VH1. To hear of his death less than a week later is eerie. Although she was born well after his heyday and his legal woes, my daughter is still a huge fan. It amazes me that he can still capture the imagination of a generation who really never knew him.
