Michael Jackson - trick or treat?

How do you feel when Michael Jackson’s music is played on the radio following the recent documentary where two individuals accused him of serious child abuse?

Though he was never convicted, the stories told in great detail were compelling. It’s hard to imagine these as fake. As far as I’m aware these individuals were not trying to blackmail his estate, and while they may have hoped for financial compensation (and got some?), the public exposure is high risk and an emotionally heavily price to pay.

Since, whenever I hear his music I have to turn off the radio or switch station. I can’t shake off these stories which may also apply to so many others suffered pain and trauma under his hands and his creepy ‘generosity’ freak show.

@stargazerlil the music itself can not be a crime obviously, but this music is with us because a person, allegedly an horrific abuser, created it. Let's hope his abuse was not the source of inspiration for all these hits.

Innocent until proven guilty.
