Jackson | Kurtz: 'generational split' in reaction

From his White Glove Journalism, in The Washington Post:

There is a generational split in the reaction to MJ's untimely death. Those who came of age during the era of the Jackson Five, Thriller, the moonwalk, are devastated because they have lost a piece of their childhood. Somewhat older folks were less enthralled by those early years and more likely to dwell on how he frittered away his success and his fortune.
