I just want to say one last thing, because it keeps coming up on facebook and it's pissing me off:
Mike had issues. He probably molested kids. We all know that. But I am tired of hearing people say, "I have his music, other than that I don't care because he was a molester"
look what he (allegedly) did was wrong. No questions. inexcusable. But if you sit there and sympathize with the victims, then don't forget that he was himself a victim of child abuse, both physically and verbally at the hands of joe pa (called him big nose, and elephant, said his skin was too dark to make it big, made him run 10 hour practices, beat him, etc) and emotionally: imagine being 12 and watching your brothers are gangbanging some chick and then dad steps in too! Add to that the struggle to reconcile his family's actions with the teachings of jehovah's witnesses, and the standard crazy stuff that comes with fame and you have a really messed up person.
The fact is that he was shell a person, and for that I hardly find his transgressions so out of place that I can't reconcile his genius and his personality. So before you demonize him as a molester, ask yourself, would you do the same if one of is victims went on to molest (as many often do)? Hypocritical.
