Michael Jackson 'was' a legend

His music was loved by millions, it can allways be found on my music player. He was a great artist who was incredibly successfull.

But the emphasis is on the word 'was'. He was great. We all know he developed the nickname 'wacko jacko' as a result of his excentric behaviour. This behaviour has become his downfall.

MJ died earlier this year at only 50 years old & because of his fame the media has gone crazy. The legal authorities now have an obligation to answer the questions surounding his death, the media won't let it go until they are satisfied. So we all get regular updates in the news regarding the lasted developments.

Two things have become very clear. MJ's excentric behaviour probably coupled with his genuine medical condition has left him addicted to perscription drugs which he was taking excessivly, to the point that he would take drastic action to obtainhis drugs & that they were making him ill rather than better. The other thing is that there are a number of out there demanding justice for his death with a number of his doctors being in the fireing line.

My biggest fear is that the public's demand for justice will see someone locked up more harshly than they deserve. While a Dr has a responsibility to witholld medication to prevent excessive use if a patient 'uses other means' to obtain his drugs, effectivly going behind the Dr's back then it is out of their hands.

What I'm trying to say is that if MJ was using 'legal' drugs beyond their perscribed use and beyond the Dr's advice then his death is nobody's fault but his own. But many will not be satisfied with that conclusion because a 'legend' would not do that to himsef. It would be a disgrace. So under pressure from the public & media, the blame unjustly falls on someone else.
