Michael Jackson's Sunglasses
By David Hershkovits
My kid was looking through my iPhone photos, came upon this picture and asked me who were all those people in sunglasses. I'd taken the photo at the on again-off again auction of Michael Jackson's stuff that had been assembled in L.A. I remember thinking at the time how my impression of Michael Jackson had been totally changed by seeing his amazing collection of toy cars, vintage video games, Disney memorabilia and custom made furniture. He was no longer just the King of Pop and a pedophile. He was a man of substance who had devoted his life to amassing an amazing assortment of objets d'art that defied categorization. This collection should never be broken up, I thought. It was so singular. And so wonderful as to demand serious exegesis. I tried to explain to my kid about this amazing, talented man, but he was really wondering more about the sunglasses and what they were all doing in this photo.

Your article was good until you labeled him a pedophile. Please do not do that without taking a look at the substantial evidence on many different websites that prove he was NOT a pedophile, but rather a victim of extortionist. I ask you, Would you have taken the money, or beaten the crap out of the molester and seen to it that he rot in prison?
