[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because he is dead and the money does not go to him. [/quote]

Think for a second.

It goes to his estate, which has denied all wrongdoing and vilified the victims. [/quote]

Wouldn't his money go to his innocent children? "The Estate" is just a bunch of paperwork and lawyers. If at some time in the future his children decide to donate or otherwise refuse his income, they can (I don't think they should feel like they have to, but they can make that decision).

The fact is, he's dead. Our money is no longer supporting a child molester.

I'm a new poster. I was never a superfan, but I'm in my 40s and still love some of his songs. I believe he is guilty. Recently in my car, an MJ song came on and I turned it off. But not because I'm concerned about where the money goes. More because it just felt wrong to introduce this whole thing to my kid. My 7 year old likes to ask questions about musicians. He'd file away the name and the fact that I have Thriller on vinyl from my childhood and next you know, he'd ask Alexa to play Michael Jackson at a birthday party, where another parent would give us the side eye and my son would ask "why isn't Larla allowed to listen to Thriller?" I'd rather not have to tell him why, at age 7. I'm guessing some day I will either remove all traces of his music from my home... Or I'll just drop my feelings and allow myself to enjoy the music separate from the pedophile. I'm not there yet. [/quote]
