I am happy to read an aritcle that speaks about the man’s heart and not about the hear says and the not so funny jokes. He was a flawed human just like all of us. But I have learned alot from listening to Michael Jackson. I learned never to Judge anyone and to be careful with my words.. Thank you for your wonderful article.

CJ Conklin, you are an accountant. I would have expected a different analysis from you regarding Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson left two savvy business men to manage his estate. This is translating into managing his legacy. While it maybe too soon to tell, what I have seen them do; thus far, is amazing. From the moment he passed, they were on top of managing his affairs. They have already brought in 90 millions dollars to his estate.

There is only one way to determine what Michael Jackson will be. That is how much money his estate earns. It will earn billions. You have to know this; Michaelâ€™s fan base is multi-generational. Many of his fans are children who never heard about the ridiculous scandal and they donâ€™t care.

I was in a grocery store one evening. There a six year old sitting on the floor with a magazine in front of him. It was a magazine featuring Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson music will outlast the lifetime of the baby boomers. Once they are dead and gone, no one will remember anything negative. You have to know, you are writing about the most famous person to every walk this planet in life. He was more famous in life than Jesus Christ was. Jesus Christ, in life, was only famous in Rome. Michael Jackson was famous in life around the globe.

you know, it’s really unfortunate that so many people, news networks, etc. choose to overlook this part of Michael Jackson that was so consistently there throughout his entire life. everything else is basically hearsay and will never be proven, but this is something about him that can never be questioned or taken away. he more or less dedicated his life to trying to reach out to people and make the world a better place and it’s really refreshing to see an article like this one that points that out. great work!
