I would have loved to see his London concerts become a huge success, as I'm sure they would have been. How terribly sad that now that can never be. This is not like other celebrity deaths. It stands out, and I suspect its full purport will only become clear over time. I and my friends had a hunch he was a boy lover as far back as the mid 1980s. It's my impression he was a very sweet guy, as well as mega-talented. If what I gather about him is true, Michael Jackson's children have lost a loving father. No doubt they're experiencing grief for the first time in their lives. Just because they had a famous parent is no reason to assume they'll have an easy time of it.
