but he is correct about how MJ was consumed by his stardom...

[@CC3GROUNDZERO]

Apparently not too tired to type a lengthy angry comment...

[@SatansSpatula]

I wrote, "I got tired of listening to him rant". How does that have anything to do with whether or not I was too tired to comment. As for anger, stop projecting.

[@SatansSpatula]

I got tired of listening to him rant about Michael Jackson and obsess over his sexuality. I'm not even a fan, but I acknowledge that M.J. was a uniquely world-famous pop star, and as such, his funeral was a pop event. People around the world felt a loss, and people around the world wanted to see a service. And using MJ's surgery obsession as a segue into society's shallowness was just cheap. MJ had a horrible childhood, was completely nuts, and isn't representative of anything.
