Ok so since last week every blog and newspaper I've read and radio station and news report I have listened to have all been covering one story and one story only. A story that I have tried desperately not to comment on but I am about to fail at that miserably. It is a story that I wish with my whole heart would just disappear. It's the story that I doubt will be going away anytime soon either. Yes it's that story. The story of a monster worshipped by millions and reviled by even more. It's the story of a man who purely by the nature of his career and fame got away with things that are so sick and perverse that they are indescribable, things that any other man would have been punished for but because of who he was and what he represented not even a slap on the wrist was forthcoming. A man who wrote songs that will sadly continue to form part of and mould the musical journey of generations to come. A genius (the term has been used very loosely here by the way) at manipulation that had the world singing along to a song about a rat.
My sympathy lies firmly on the side of the rat. So here's to you Ben wherever you are may you finally rest in peace.
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me (you've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You've got a place to go (you've got a place to go)
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben
To the monster may your memory fade from the minds of those you used and abused and may your victims now find some inner peace.

Agreed. Although, MJ was a victim himself, also of atroicities.
He was the victim of a act with the devil, i guess his father made.
Wonder if his father thinks it worthwhile?
peace and love
