The black Micheal Jackson was never convicted of anything. On the other hand a white Pete Townsend was CONVICTED of the felon charges of collecting child porn.

You are talking about a dead man, while Pete Townsend was being honored at the Kennedy center last month. Why isn't there an out cry about that!!!-

Townshend's crime consisted of having images of child porn on his computer. He claimed that he had compiled these for a project on child abuse. I have no idea what the truth is here--but it's undeniable that he's written music about child abuse on several previous occasions, the most notable being "Tommy."

Michael Jackson was accused of a much more serious offense: sexual predation. He was acquitted--again, who knows what really happened? But even if he stopped short of actual sexual behavior, the squalid picture of a grown man spoon-feeding alcohol (under the guise of "Jesus Juice") to children, then snuggling up with them in bed, is pretty hard to stomach.-

I stand corrected: he didn't have porn on his computer, but he did use a credit card to look at a kiddie porn site on the Web, possibly just once. Comparing this to King of Pop's behavior in his private rumpus room makes no sense at all. Which still doesn't prevent me from enjoying Jackson's performances.
