True.
Whenever someone mentions MJ I gotta think what context I'm gonna think in.
Wide-eyed as a child watching the Thriller video?
Hearing about his troubles but always liking his latest single?
Getting called a faggot cause I rediscovered 'off the wall' as a young teenager and liked disco music?
Realizing that alot of his best vocal performances in the later part of his career were alot more geared to rocknroll. And seeing the influence of Trent Reznor on him.
Seeing a sudden gush of appreciation for him after he died. By people who didn't know or think about him as an artist beforehand. I remember the 'temperature' of MJ's image before he died. It wasn't so warm.
