I'm not saying that he didn't do anything stupid, either. Nobody who has ever been accused of pedophilia should host fucking pajama parties with other people's kids. I think he was a very naive, self-destructive and weak person, who was also charitable and creative. And I think he was asexual, not a pedophile. He had a very deprived childhood, like a lot of child stars, and had a hangup about wanting to relive his youth. That's what I think, anyway. He certainly let a lot of slimy people come into his life.

Listen, Michael Jackson leaves behind a legacy much more powerful than these scandals (then there's the paparazzi, and Joe Jackson forcing him to work, work, work as a kid). The man revolutionized music FOREVER -- not just then and now, but for decades to come -- and wayyy more than Elvis Presley now. He revolutionized the music industry where future recording artists would get higher royalty rates, too. He was a businessman and a marketing genius. So what? So he supposedly blew a tsunami of man batter out of his yogi bear on some kid's doink.

He's still Michael Jackson. He's donated to famine in Africa. He's donated to children's charities. He's donated again and again and again. He's a certified humanitarian. He's fought for creative artists (musicians) receiving the wages they should receive, and soooo much more.

...But he leaves behind a legacy that will never be topped, and that is in his music and talent.

For Farrah Fawcett, her legacy was being herself and most of all LOVE. It was about her and Ryan O' Neal. And, if you watched the 20/20 specials tonight with Barbara Walters, staring fear in the face.
