Did Jackson bring a lot of this onto himself? I don't know. It seems like at some point his inner self kind of ran off the rails. And since it's so tough to get inside a person's mind, it's really hard to say just what fame did to him. Our own interest fuels the gossip industry, so it's not fair to go blaming "the media" here. In fact, it seemed like it was Farrah's wish to have her sickness documented. I didn't really need to see those photos of her diminished self, but at least she had a say in the decision. Yesterday, on the other hand, I saw an "exclusive photo" of an intubated Michael Jackson on a stretcher. What the hell? When is 'enough' enough?
I'm choosing to remember both of these people as they were in their youth, back when Farrah seemed both hot and innocent, and when Michael could electrify a crowd with his glove, a flip of the hat, and his pure energy.
