I think now that most of the world has seen thsi interview, set up for the greater glorification IMHO of Saint Martin of Bashir.

I watched it and wept.

Michale told us of his brutal father who used to terrify and beat them, especially him, during rehearsals. Suddenly I understood him.

He is a child who missed his childhood. So he tries to recover it and relive it daily.

That doesn't mean he does it in the wisests ways, with kids sharing his bedroom, but he stated clearly that it is simply other people who impute a sexual motive.

I don't like his music particularly, but I like and admire the man, now.

Many people I spoke to at work also now understand him. But the tabloid press still holds him up as a child molesting monster. But a headline that says "Jacko is not Wacko" will not sell papers
