Thanks to his later issues it is VERY easy to forget what he was as an artist. After "Thriller" he became was too larger than life too quick and thus the downward spiral began. Much like Elvis could tell us, fame makes you a prisoner FAST and these sad self destruction's should surprise no one. Were the personal issues o.k.? HELL no but again, I'm old enough to remember the "normal" Michael Jackson from the late 70's and very early 80's. A different person altogether.
