Having an opinion on Michael Jackson is not something I've ever bothered with. He's Michael Jackson, y'know? What else is there to say?

But beyond that, I do have a few minor points.

One, I don't have the energy for the "oh but he was so brilliant before all that...". Not interested. If I'm gonna watching anything of his it's the late era freakshow. That has some entertainment value. A late 1970s album blending funk, soul and disco can beep my beep. Don't care.

Two, the Bo Selecta MJ character* was brilliant.

That's it, actually.

Anyway, what are some of y'all's Michael Jackson opinions?
