It's basically the same way I feel about the work of Phil Spector (can't listen to it...a murder can have that affect on my taste) I know there are some brave souls who can separate the personality of an artist from the artist's art (or in Jackson's case, his music with and without his brothers) Heck..."Billie Jean" is a monster disco jam, but holy crud, Michael Jackson liked to have sleepovers with little boys. That's not good...and if it's not a sin and a shame then what is? - I'll pass on these cute Jackson 5 cartoons - though I'm sure they're cute and fun.

I'd completely forgotten about this show- but it was airing the same time I was learning to read and write. Coincidence?
