I always love Sis.Andrews' writing.She is fresh,perky and adorable.I do not know her,I once knew her husband,but I know her perspective.Jackson's life is an object lesson on self-indulgence run amuck,talent wasted.The eulogies often bordered on the ridiculous.How can a black population glorify a person who became obsessed with turning WHITE.His bleached skin.lying on the morgue slab testified to his sick mind.As he wasted away,living on uppers and downers,scarred by his insane desire to change his appearence,his illness was never challenged,his downward spiral was never checked by those who should have intervened.Why?Al Sharpton aside,he was as poor a role model as a black youth couth pick.
