Of course this stuff is silly. Aside from the obvious, it might be interesting to delve into the ideological content of Jackson's songs and his views. Also, the social basis of his pathology.
But to tell the truth, I'm more interested in the Jazz Icons DVDs, consisting of video footage of concerts by the greats such as Sonny Rollins, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, John Coltrane, etc. I want to spend my time with real music, not pop culture bullshit.
