Son of JayJamJah

If your recollection of his reaction to Falwells death is accurate the hypocrisy is unbelievable.

But to be frank, I think the coverage is way out of line and totally misses the point. The world is a better place with him dead? proabably not, but we're not missing anything either. He hasn't been relevant in 15 years for good reason, there is nothing left.

Also his music is not that good (in comparrison to how we're suddenly remembering it), the hits hold up well mostly, but a lot of stuff sounds very dated and tacky. He was not a great vocalist as an adult, but had a signature sound. He was not a great songwriter, but an adequate one and better then most give him credit. It was all down hill, though slightly at first, after "Off the Wall". He lost it, years of being beaten and possibly sexually abused and watching his sibling's deal with the same things was finally too much.

Sean Hannity is an asshole but that doesn't mean Jack-o was not a sick freak created by an abusive sociopath of a father.
