Did Michael Jackson Have a Hole in His Soul?

It seems that we can't get enough of Michael Jackson. Even after his death, we scramble like rabid dogs for any little scrap of rehashed news we can bite into. What is it that fascinates us so much about him? Why does he thrill our imaginations and captivate our psyches? What was his power?

Aside from his almost otherworldly talent, I believe that his struggles to live in this world, his feelings of being an outsider, his desires to escape mundane reality through his creation of an alternate, fantasy-based reality also appeal to and repulse us at the same time. I think that his struggle to find peace, solace, acceptance, and purpose in this life are very much our own struggles.
