I was having a discussion with a friend last night about Michael Jackson, and it inspired this question.
No one that was alive during the 80's can deny the impact this album had on its fans or our culture, as I'm sure if you didn't get the jacket, and glittery glove and socks you know someone who did. The impact was beyond huge.
Fast forward 10 years to rumors and accusations of copious amounts of plastic surgery, odd behavior and child molestation. The "King of Pop", at least here in the States, had not only been dethroned but permanently exiled. It's tough to imagine any album he releases now to be embraced.
I think it's tough for us who lived through it all to get over everything that's happened since we witnessed it first-hand, but for future generations, will they be able to look beyond his actions and remember him the way he was once seen?
