I would need a little "Dutch Courage" to get up and perform before multitudes of people. I think that this is the reason that Judy Garland died of addiction. It is not easy to be "on" all of the time, to lose your anonymity, to keep your act and physique fresh, and interesting and keep the public's eye. Many, many, many, many people who are dearly loved entertainers have run into the addiction demon. Robin Williams, another genius.
I believe that Michael Jackson abused children, but there are some of my friends who will argue forever that he was NOT a pedophile. When we love, or adulate, we lose our objectivity.
