Insider,
Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean "The Gospel According to Michael" or
anything like that. In this context I was making reference to the musical
genre known as gospel music, which draws it's roots from African american
churches in the south and is associated with the grandiose choral sound evident
in songs like Keep the Faith, Earth Song, Will You be There, and of course Man
in the Mirror. I was making reference more to the Gospel music-style choral
arrangements of the songs than I was to MJ himself. While I have tremendous
respect and appreciation for his talent, I do not worship Michael Jackson.
Once again, I apologize for not being a little clearer in my previous post.
