I like to focus on the good things he contributed like his humanitarian efforts. Not many know that he was responsible for the song 'We Are The World' USA for Africa. With having the potential to spread good words through Social Media, we all have the power to do our part and say positive things about people, and to say to hell with the media. Their only profit comes at others' expense. Isaac With Michael Jackson, it’s too bad his last few years ended the way they did.
