Like your point with Jerry Lee Lewis, I'd say there'd be a lot of music stripped from my collection if I had to like the person behind the songs (James Brown, Guns N' Roses, and so on and so on). They sang and sometimes wrote the songs, but it doesn't belong to them once it's out there. But, with Michael Jackson, I just feel like the talent and perhaps even the humanity had died in him long ago, so why mourn him now? Shouldn't we have shed our tears back in the mid-90s?John Mutfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730205221787092204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816007491878097070.post-74970055638111885772009-06-26T14:14:15.424-04:002009-06-26T14:14:15.424-04:00Yeah you have to separate the music from the perso...Yeah you have to separate the music from the personality.
