(The Dissenter) Michael Jackson moonwalked his way into the hearts of millions, perhaps billions, of people around the globe, a glittering icon who could do no wrong in the eyes of his adoring fans. They cheered, screamed, and wept at the mere sight of him, entranced by the aura of untouchable greatness that surrounded him. But then came the headlines—the lawsuits, the whispers, the grotesque truths that couldn’t be silenced by a high note or a perfectly timed spin.
The King of Pop wasn’t just another flawed man, he was a shattered image of what people so desperately wanted to believe. His story ended not with applause but in tragedy, a grim reminder that celebrity idolatry blinds people to reality until it’s too late. Yet, here we are again, bowing at the altar of fame, learning nothing as we anoint new idols who will surely fall just as hard.
