Michael is an icon in every sense of the word.
This is not the first time I think of it, but for some reason, the Christmas memorial is a fresh reminder to me.
We all know what Christmas is all about.
Right now I'm trying to look at this from a non-fan's perspective.
What would it be like? How would I take that?.......
Maybe, somebody walking past, who is not a fan, stops to look at the site and thinks to his/herself, "Well, it's probably true that Michael Jackson did good things for some people." You know what? I wouldn't get on my soapbox to preach how good-hearted of a person he was, just becuz I'm a fan. Everybody has their own opinion or no opinion about him, so it ain't no use. But I'd be willing to say he really was to, at least, some people, if it's not you, and it just shows.
