Ambiguous here.

Great performer...but he molested kids and paid his way out of it.

We excuse the famous for some sinister stuff...if he was not a celebrity, he would have been gutted with a prison shank years ago.

Not trying to stir the pot...but we are talking kids here.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Well, that, and I was shocked that he actually died rather than being raptured to the mothership of Planet Xenon or wherever the hell it was that he came from.

What a douche (if it's really him).

On a good oft interred with bones angle .. this is a hell of a move.

The Beatles get the rights to their music back (which basically means McCartney gets the rights back) out of his will.

The linked article is from January of this year:
Michael Jackson reportedly plans to end his longstanding feud with Paul McCartney by leaving him the Beatles' back catalog in his will. Jacko and Macca have been estranged since a falling out back in 1985, after Jackson beat out McCartney and Yoko Ono -- widow of John Lennon -- in a bidding war for the rights to 200 of Fab Four's legendary songs.

Sir Paul, 66, has long felt betrayed by Jackson, now 50, on principle. In 2006 McCartney said, "You know what doesn't feel very good, is going on tour and paying to sing all my songs. Every time I sing 'Hey Jude,' I've got to pay someone."

Previously, the pair collaborated on Jackson's 1982 'Thriller' extract 'The Girl is Mine,' and McCartney's 1983 single 'Say, Say, Say' from 'Pipes of Peace.'

U.K. newspaper the Daily Mirror quotes a Jackson insider as saying, "Michael told his lawyers he was sad he no longer talks to Sir Paul and said he wanted to make things right."

Just last month, Jackson denied rumors that he was suffering from a deadly lung condition after unauthorized biographer Ian Halperin claimed Jackson was battling emphysema, genetic illness Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1AD) and was also losing the vision in his left eye.

It's too bad he was an icon, because he was a real piece of shit. The world is better now. I respect his contributions to music.. but that's it.

It's quite sad because there was a time when he was a major humanitarian. His championing of Ryan White pretty much brought awareness to the world that AIDS was not just a gay disease. And who can forget USA for Africa, "We are the World." Then he fucked with kids and that is unforgiveable.

I'm just glad it's finally over for him, and the people who were negatively affected by his sheer fucked-upness. He obviously had serious mental problems. I can't imagine he actually enjoyed the majority of his life. He was one of those people who was supremely talented, but just had no place in this world. There's no excuse for the things he did, but equally as guilty are those who made it possible to cover up his actions, and kept him from getting the help/punishment he needed/deserved, so they could get a piece of his fortune. I don't think MJ ever thought in his crazy mind that he did anything wrong; the others knew, and they cared more about the money. Regardless, he could sing his ass off when he was 12.
