Michael Jackson - Genius and Madness

They say that there's a fine-line between genius and madness, but Andy argues that 'they' are wrong. There's a lot of hypocrisy in the aftermath of Michael Jackson's death - was he crazy, or just a genius, misunderstood by the generation that obsessed over him?

Andy suggests that neither of these things are true - and that Michael Jackson was BOTH a musical mastermind and someone with serious psychological problems, and that you can be both, or how else do you explain the insanity and genius of Jackson, Artaud, Mozart and others?

But with time, the frenzy will die down and, as we did with the likes of Judy Garland and Jerry Lee Lewis, we will just consider the 'craziness' of Jacko as a curious footnote in his life rather than the supreme musical talent that he was.
