Michael Jackson 50

Michael Jackson turns 50 today.

I have been a fan of Michael since early 90s, from the Dangerous album. I do not really know why I like his music, and to a certain extent his values as well. I guess I admire his ability to rise above his public persona and live his life in his own terms (as he has the means to do so). He has influenced popular music more than people sometimes give him credit, his sheer talent is obvious.

Watch: Michael being interviewed by telephone on Good Morning America.
