Friends and readers. We seem to live in a world dominated by the cult of celebrity,from Z list television cooks,right through the looking glass spectrum to the ultimate in this spectator sport,the tragic figure that was Micheal Jackson.

No question the music that he produced was genius driven,and his collaboration with producer Quincy Jones topped it off, but behind all that,and often played out in full public view was the tormented soul of an isolated individual.

All the excesses were there to see,lavish spending,the dreadful plastic surgery, alledged drug abuse,and of course the hangers on who surrounded him.

Played out in front of the world we watched an exploited child move to adult hood and into the clutches of the movers and shakers of the music world whose only goal is their profit line and dam the concequences.

The talent that Jackson appeared to have at his fingertips and that gave pleasure to millions worldwide was ruthlessly exploited by the music moguls and the industry they control.

Jackson is a victim,a high profile victim who was used and abused to feather the beds of those who called themselves friends,and he paid the ultimate price.

Watching the wall to wall coverage yesterday we had the ultimate hanger on telling all of his great love of Jackson and all he represented. Uri Geller whose only claim to fame was that he could bend spoons,and someone who has lived off that trick for a generation was quick to mouth off about his close friendship with the singer.

Now Geller is a con-man so what does that tell us. We are left now with just the legacy of some great music put together by a man whose all to tragic life was lived out before us until his premature death.

The cult of celebrity is a dangerous one which builds an individual up into some sort of god like person and then sets about destroying them.

Take a good look around,and witness the crap that surrounds us in this celebrity driven age. Everything from no talent reality show contestants to self important vastly over paid TV presenters who think the world revolves around them.

So many of these characters they are to numerous to mention,all feeding off vulture like from the same carcase.

We would not even mention their names for fear of publicising theses prats even further.

It is painful to think that these wasters will jump on anything that will push them further into the spotlight,and jumping on Jackson was the ultimate ego trip.

So what and who lead to the death of this one off musical icon. Was it a piece of self destruction?very possibly so,but when we finally get the true story and that’s if we ever do,there will be a list of culprits who fed off Jackson,but will have very quickly moved on to the next victim.

It is much more likely that his death will be reported as  one of an accidental nature possibly with the aid of a cocktail of different barbiturates.

But as Micheal Jackson awaits his final resting place,the record sales will rocket and the money will roll in. So even as their victim lies dead these vultures who fed off him while he was alive will continue to do so,until the public move on.
