Michael Jackson passes away at 50: How will you remember the icon?

This is how I will remember the man.

And this.

That is all I want to recall about one of the saddest stories of our times. The man was an astonishing performer, but one who was raised by a man who was, by many accounts, brutal to his children.

No doubt that had a major effect on the strangeness of the man's last 25 years.

Thanks for the memories, Michael.
