Well, Michael Jackson is innocent as of 4:20 pm CDT. This is important on several levels. On a societal note, it will be interesting to see what people think. The cynical and the "too cool to like Michael Jackson" will probably think that it was another example of the rich squashing the poor like a small, insignificant bug. The fans will think that justice has been done. I'm not sure yet, I think we'l have to see what happens in the future as the events play out, but I think at the very least we'll have an interesting album to listen to in a years time or so (if he gets back into the recording studio --- with Quincy Jones)
Another theory of mine is that Michael Jackson's career started going downhill as soon as he stopped working with Quincy Jones. Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad.. all with QJ and in my opinion all great pop albums. Whatever the others were called, they weren't with QJ and they pretty much sucked.
I guess now that I've written this, I should explain the title...
Good - an innocent man doesn't have to go to jail (and be eaten alive in the process)
Evil - a guilty man with $$ bought his freedom as many other rich people in this country tend to do
