Vindication and Advocacy for Michael Jackson and other deceased persons whose Legacy is allowed to be tarnished because there is no law to protect the deceased from defamation. Offenders, those who defame, should be required to give account for their personal thoughts, views, or attitudes; especially those based mainly upon emotion instead of reason or knowledge.
While I would not say Thriller was the worst thing that happened to Michael Jackson, I do understand what the writer is saying. Thriller set the bar to high that what came after was not taken as seriously. Too often the only mark of success we acknowledge is the amount of units sold. The artistic content and quality may be overlooked. Every album of Michael's is a delightful discovery to be treasured, enjoyed and respected. I am glad that his work is now being looked at seriously.
