AUTHOR’S NOTE: This article was written and the tempo maps and measurements taken as dated, in other words, long before the death of Michael Jackson – I have left all comments as they were in their original form.

Michael Jackson is a performing and composing genius. Say whatever you want about his invaded personal life. I say to anybody, especially myself – if every skeleton in my closet were exposed for the world to see, with no chance of editing that which may or may not be true – would you cast the first stone at me, standing accused of crimes of moral turpitude? Have you kept a sparkling closet? If you have, I fear you. *Everyone* has their demons, I think.
