You are insinuating that because he's a great pop star he has the right to I don't know... molest children. To me, I think the fact he maybe was raping kids is something that very much does matter. He could be freaking John Coltrane, and it'd still matter.

Honestly, what? Of course when he's doing a show he's happy. What do you expect him to be doing? Pissing on the audience, and kicking his stage hands in the nuts?
I think the problem was that people are disturbed he may have been molesting children. The fact he privately had children constantly in his quarters, that weren't his, is a little bothersome. The fact he represented the symbol of somebody possibly having just enough money, and power, to get away with anything he wanted to I think is the issue we're covering.
Letting it rest in peace is not the point. It's the fact that if he can do it, it leads to the possibilities other rich, and famous people could buy their way into getting away with the same thing. I'm not saying he did, and I'm not saying that I have enough evidence to go either way, but the possibility should be scrutinized heavily in both death, and life.
I mean, just because he wasn't as dumb as Roman Polanski to film it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. If Polanski didn't take pictures, we'd never know.
However, I do agree that I'm annoyed at the duality. That the press so swiftly changed it's tune after he died. If you're going to spend a decade laying in on him for being a scumbag, you don't turn around and revere him after he dies. Besides, Micheal Jackson jokes were annoying as ****. Way too predictable.
Nobody EVER makes a Gary Glitter or Pete Townshend(a man CAUGHT with child porn on his computer, and completely weaseled out of it) joke. Pete Townshend, for example, is a phenomenal musician, but I'd NEVER say that the man should not be in jail, and when he dies, I'll freely call him a scumbag no matter how much I love The Who.
