Enough

I try not to get into the fray too much on this blog. Mainly because this blog is more of a general blog about parenting, infertility and my daily life. But sometimes I cannot keep thinking something without wanting to post it. So, if I offend anyone with this, realize its my opinion and your opinion can differ and you can write your opinion on your forum.

I am into celebrity death as much as the next person (okay, maybe a bit more--as previously stated on this blog, I follow this site.
However, I think the 24/7 coverage is going overboard. I don't get the HUGE public mourning. Mourning should be for his family and close friends. Fans and strangers can mourn so many other ways, I am unsure that this public display is suited for this particular man. This is a man who was a deeply flawed individual, someone who most probably molested children. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED LOVED him when I was 12. I have a picture somewheres of me snuggling up to my poster of him on my bedroom wall. He was soo handsome then. His songs then were wonderful. I watched and watched those videos. But I grew up. And he did not. I found a moral balance in my life. He did not. Would I let this man near my children?? Not for all the money in the world. So yes, it is sad that he died. It is tragic. It is also tragic that no one could seem to help him (read Lisa Marie's blog--very sincere). But frankly, he is dead. Let's mourn him by playing his songs and move on.
