I think it's worthwhile to investigate this impulse, in fact. Did you listen to the interview I linked? It's a pretty vivid, intense evocation of what kind of power Jackson exerted over American culture; a "rocket ship to bliss" I think is how his presence was described. It's worth unpacking that baggage a bit in this new light.
