One of my online acquaintances divided Jackson's life into two periods: "amazing music" and "batshit insane". Nobody could write a hook for a pop song like Jackson. He *was* a creative person, he gave people pleasure with his music, and then that all disintegrated into self-destructive surgery, rumors, lawsuits. I'm not deeply grieved--in fact, I never considered myself a fan--but I'm sad.
