Life Michael Jackson: A Remembrance
Posted by David Schmader on Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 7:20 PM
From the intro:
How do you memorialize a one-of-a-kind musical genius who went crazy, morphed his race and gender, slept with kids, was repeatedly acquitted of child-molestation charges, and then died, alone and $400 million in debt? You’ll find our answers to this question in the collection of pieces below. (Much like the man’s life, it gets fucked up toward the end.)

*Growing Up with Michael Jackson (Who Never Grew Up) by Dave Segal
*The Kiddie-Pleasing Linguistic Inventions of the King of Pop by Eli Sanders
*How Michael Jackson Touched Me as a Child by Megan Seling
