I think he really doesn't know the difference between right and wrong.

You say you think he's legally sane, however you contradict yourself in the last sentence. The ability to "know the difference between right and wrong" is the exact criterion to determine legal sanity. You can't have it both ways. I also refute that he is musically adept. I think he can dance as well as -- perhaps even slightly better than -- his backup dancers, but even his voice sounds like a child. He definitely doesn't have any musical ability; I once heard the voice track of Billie Jean. Suffice it to say, it wasn't pretty. |
So according to you, little children are insane? You missed my point. There is a difference with at one time knowing right from wrong and then losing it and never knowing it at all (as I believe is the case with Jackson). The former is insanity. The latter is unfortunate.
And I would say he is musically adept. Listen to the music track of Billie Jean. As one musician speaking of another, I love it. I wish I could compose such grooves like that. I'm a jazz pianist, and I would give my left arm to be able to lay down such riffs as the ones in Billie Jean.
