Michael Jackson was a paedophile. Why does the local school choose one of his songs for the kids to perform to?

I also have a friend whose little boy has learnt all his moves and she puts MJ on for him to dance to.

I don’t understand, hearing his music makes me feel sick.

It wasn't written by Michael Jackson

Actually, it was written by Michael Jackson, just not that Michael Jackson.

I loved lost prophets music. But I would never listen to anything of theirs again. I felt sorry for the rest of the band.imagine them finding out there had been a beast hiding in plain sight there.
i kind of feel the same way about MJ. But I was never a fan anyway so no loss there. There is another superstar who I will not listen to, no conviction but I do believe that money may have passed hands.no name .but he is on the other side of the line that I won’t cross.

He was known as Mick

Yes.

It’s short for Michael.

Yes.

It’s short for Michael.

But he wasn't known as Michael Jackson so I don't know why you said the song was written by Michael Jackson. It's completely irrelevant who wrote the song

Seriously?!? So you don't watch any Kevin Spacey movies?

Hmm, who brought up the fact that (the American) Michael Jackson didn't write it??

Clue: not me!

2nd clue: it was you!

Famous artists - both Picasso and Dali had views about women that most people would rightly question - yet museums are dedicated to their work, the art can be seen all over, etc etc. If we go down that line, we'd live in a dull dull world 👍 The list of dodgy people in 'the arts' is endless.
