I'll drop the music angle. I said what I needed to and am fine if people don't agree.

No one should feel bad about making jokes though. People make jokes on here all the time about ordinary people who suffer misfortune. I don't see why a celebrity should be exempt. Besides, for the past 10 or 15 years, Jackson was at least as influential in pop-culture humour as he ever was in music. We were more likely to hear jokes about him on late night talk shows than we were to see him grab his crotch and squeal.
