I think he definitely had some of the most devoted and utterly fanatical fans of any pop star, I've known a couple of seemingly "normal" people who were insane for Jacko, to the extent of giving up jobs and following him on tour and that kind of caper. He certainly was an icon of 20th century pop music, probably even more so now he's died. Whatever your opinion of the man and the artist it's another marker of time passing on - everyone who was around then remembers when the Thriller video was first on the tele or the explaination that bad meant good on Newsround.
I personally remember being absolutely blown away by the Motown 25 show as a kid, when he was incredible. In fact what a show, Marvin Gaye too, must be on dvd?
I was a bit shocked when I heard about it this morning, gonna play the kids a bit of Jackson 5 to remember him by next week.
