I'm Talking About the Man in the Mirror

What a deluge of grief today for Michael Jackson.
TV, radio, internet and print media scrambling to make sense of an unexplained event.
Behind the scenes the grief must be intense for family members, even estranged family will feel a loss.
There is a strange feeling of mixed emotions when a tarnished icon dies. There is part of me that doesn't want to believe he was capable of child molestation, but another that says he quite clearly stepped over the line.
My favourite song was 'Ben' achingly innocent, take me back along way.
As has been commented in the media, he was born into show business and has certainly died in the spotlight.
The spotlight will be intense for the next few weeks- how will he really be remembered?
