Regarding the early 1990s unfortunate allegations, everyone should read this GQ magazine article - from some years ago. Well written from a prestigious magazine:

(same article also on other sites just search for +"michael jackson" +GQ in Yahoo to find if that link causes problems).
I currently believe Michael is eccentric, possesses star quality, is the product of an upbringing difficult for any child and, is NOT a child molester.
