Later on the following spring, I remember when I was in 2nd grade. The 4th and 5th graders would bring their cardboard boxes, boom box to school with them, so on recesses they could break-dance. Well Michael Jackson was the number one artist to dance During recess one day I was out watching the boys dance, when all of the sudden I hear, “Michael Jackson is gay!” the boy next to me said to the kid dancing. I looked over at him and said, “No he is not! He is better than you. At least he can dance.” Timmy was his name. He got very mad cause I said he didn’t know how to dance. He pushed me down, so I stood up and I hit him in the head with my book bag. He started crying and he ran away, while all the kids on the play ground started laughing at him. I got in trouble for hitting him but I was sticking up for myself, and Michael Jackson. While growing up I would always get into heated debates about Michael because everyone I knew didn’t like him. I did and I didn’t care if anyone new it. Even when he died I was talking to my best friend about it and she would call him a child molester and everything else and I would say, “You can think what you want but I don’t think he was!” How I see it up until the day that he did I still defended him! If he was such a child molester, why would he still have custody of his 3 children and he was never found guilty? It is now2009 when my mom called to tell me he was dead. I was shocked! Even though everyone hated Michael I didn’t. I cried while his funeral was on TV. My heart went out to his kids and his family. I was glad he didn’t have to deal with what the public made him out to be. I don’t think he would EVER hurt anyone. All those people that accused him of hurting those kids were just money hungry losers. They took advantage of the way that he was just to get money out of him. I’m sad that he died, but at the same time it’s was a blessing!!!! He no longer has to deal with the way his life had been the last few years of his life. All I could say is at least he’s away from all the publicity and lies. Also all the other stuff he had to go through. Yes he was a freak toward the end but his music is the best and no matter what I will always love him for his music. As I have said I love him and his music. But as I was growing up and watching the face of Michael change so drastically. It still didn’t change the way I felt about him and his music. Just because his looks changed doesn’t mean he changed. Look at both of his sisters. They did the same thing he did and well Janet is still the same. Michael Jackson was a gifted singer and artist, he will always be an inspiration to me and I will never forget him.
