Michael Jackson was a sick person dependent on a plethora of legal and illegal drugs. Some will tell you he was a lot more that a gifted singer/dancer. But what happened to this entertainer and how did it happen. Reaction to his departure from this particular plane of existence brings to mind the rock star status accorded President Obama for a season. It’s problematic to me, that people idolize Jackson, an admittedly gifted performer. I’d have to be a hard up small ‘g’ god seeker to make the man into some sort of an idol. The media is saying he was addicted to pain killing drugs for years, (brings to mind Elvis and Judy Garland) which led to his demise at fifty years old. Now the media and the district attorney are looking at Jackson’s doctor(s) and day to day ‘mother’s little helpers’ who acquired and administered his deadly cocktails. Personally, I’d like to know if any of them attempted to intervene with their boss’ addiction which seems to have spanned many years?
The answer is probably not that simple, but it does appear that Michael kept people around him who may have been good employees but their job description did not seem to include challenging him about a self destructive lifestyle. Child molestation allegations aside, this guy was no saint and apparently not too open to people of his inner circle if they wanted to slow down his drug ingestion race to hell. Even Jesus had one, and we know that not all of his inner circle was honest with Him either. Not rocking the boat, being a yes man, may have been the order of the day for those who wanted to keep their job and be in Jackson’s good graces. But being a yes man in order to keep your job or stay popular with leaders is probably not limited to celebrities like Elvis or Michael Jackson or Anna Nicole Smith.
