"The American public, on the other hand, have been unbelievably ignorant about the truth. By insulting his memory, they are insulting their own intelligence."

How very true. I'm ASHAMED at American ignorance regarding so many things - including Michael.

1. I met Michael at a party in the '80's and my best friend and I both

couldn't get over how very shy he was, and also how polite he was to us both. We chatted for quite a while and he never once acted like he was bored or even tried to get away from us. I will always hold that memory as a highlight in my life. What a talented man he was. During his trial, etc., I think we all forgot how much we loved his music and especially his dancing.

2. MJ was much loved outside of the US..
